Hi Chad
I would like to enter tool data in only one place. If I choose Fusion 360 as the one repository for all tool data, as I understand it, you can use their post-processors to output the tool table, BUT it is only for the specific job being post-processed. Any tools not used in that Manufacture job will not be included.
The second option would be to output the library from Fusion 360 Actions tab, but that requires a LUA script to read and I do not know how to create or use LUA scripts.
Cbyrdtopper: you write that you have a Fusion360 post that uses G10 code. I have D and H offsets stored in Fusion360, and also turning tools that I would want to export. Does your post allow for D and H offsets?
Finally, I use Art Soft's Mill Wizard, and the default format for tools is *wtl NOT *tls. So, I cannot even load my Mach4 tool library into Mill Wizard since it does not recognize the *tls file in my Profile>Tooltables.
For now, I grind my teeth and manually reenter the tool data. Why does Mach4 not have the capability to import any of the Fusion360 tool output formats (*.json, *.tsv, *.hsmlib)
