the point is to speed up tool change on haas mill, because every time tool change occurs machine stops, rotates drum then goes to tool change position instead of preloading next tool after current tool is loaded into spindle.
so the code must look like:
"T1 M6
T2"
but the "t2" part should be variable "next tool", because tools wont load in order from T1-T24, they can go in like "T5-T1- T7-T5-T3".. etc.
so I really need this line after TXX M6 to speed up tool change.
I don't know how to get it from postprocessor in solidcam so any help is much appreciated!
