Comment Code TL

Loads a CAD file of a lathe tool to be used for plotting the toolpath.

When this Code is found during plotting Inplot attempts to load the tool file name found in the comment. If the file is successfully loaded, the tool file name will be shown on the status bar. If it could not be loaded, you may see message on the status bar and the previous tool will still be loaded.

Ex.: (TL FACE2A)

Loads picture of tool with the filename 'FACE2A.CDL' from the tool file directory. If no file is found, it is ignored.

If (TL 0) is used, any loaded tool is removed and tool picture is empty.
