ATC Fetch Tool Popup
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2025 4:16 pm
I'm not sure if I shared this, but this is my ATC "fetch tool" popup to select a tool in your rack (or something not in your rack via user prompts in the script).
Clicking the button fetches that tool.
Code is at https://github.com/corbinstreehouse/Cen ... RackSetup/
The VCP button invokes my app with an argument passed to tell it what to do.
<vcp_button>
<run>
<line>M130 "C:\CNCM\ToolRackSetup.exe\ -showFetchToolWindow"</line>
</run>
</vcp_button>
The app is forced to be a singleton to prevent multiple instances and cache tool information.
I'll have to look into using <app> to see if that is better!
I was also thinking of making it in-line editable, to set what tool is in what rack position via this little popup window. Currently I use another window for that association.
