Hi everyone, is it possible to create a label on the computer screen and populate it with the description of the tool in use?

not directly you can make a workarround via macropump macro

code for Userlabel 123 would be:
SetUserLabel(123, GetToolDesc(GetDRO(24)))


!not tested

thanks for the reply.
How do I apply this variable to the label in mach screen? I see that it is not possible to put functions in labels

you have to make a userlabel in your screen, for example Userlabel123

and the code needs to be in macropump.m1s macro. make sure macropump is enabled in general config.

this way?
because i tried but it doesn't work...

yes this way.

for a quick test open Menu:

Operator -> VB Script Editor

then copy and paste this code into Editor

SetUserLabel(123, GetToolDesc(GetDRO(24)))
and use the green start button to run it

I tried to do as you say but the label doesn't change it stays like this
Am I doing something wrong?

not sure, but i think it needs to be UserLabel123 insteed of Userlabel123

made a quick test here and it works

but are you using machscreen?
I tried to insert the text but it doesn't work for me, it takes the instruction as text

i am using MachScreen
