Good morning
I'm not sure where to post this request. Attached is a screen shot of the toolpath dialog. Under Tool:. Would it be possible to add the description . Currently it only shows tool number and diameter. I use tools with the same diameter with different function. I do have the cam tools dialog open to view on a second screen but it would be more convenient to see it in the toolpath menus.

Re: Request
Yes it would be and it can be done in your custom postprocessor.
You will need some knowledge of Qt and JS scripting.
The basic layout of the CamProfileToolpathDialog can be found on the forum.
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... 659#p33659
For example: LinuxCNCEvanCNC2.prototype.initDialog adds a G-Code group to the CamProfileToolpathDialog widget.
Then the next question is then how and where to synchronize that with what.
Instead of looking at the cam tools dialog ...
The tool description is included in the Edit CAM tool dialog.
This is displayed when hitting the pencil button besides the tool field.
Cancel will simply close that.

Re: Request
Thanks, I will have a look at the scripting. That's above my paygrade but I know someone who may be able to help.

Hi CVH
I just looked at the link. Very interesting. I tried searching for suggestions on my question topic but had no luck. I need to improve my search skills!
