Title: Tool Finding
Post by: Firechief on January 08, 2018, 02:47:57 PM

I heed some help with finding the current tool edge. I working on a XYZ 0. I got it to find XYZ 0 but the setting is to the side (XY) of the tool not the center. Any help with the lua code would be great.
Thanks

You can get the center of the tool by using

Code: [Select]

local center = mc.mcToolGetData(inst, mc.MTOOL_MILL_RAD, 1);
assuming you are using the tooltable, from here you can add or subtract it to your XY Coords
