List tools in post

[n_spect_r]

I did some searching but did not find what I am looking for.
I'd like to post a list of all the tools in the header. Currently I am using this header, it would be nice to have a list of tools right below it.
Probably been done, I just have not found it.

Thanks.
Win 11, custom post for Mazak, Qcad ver 3.28

this.header = [
"(File: [FILENAME] -- [DATETIME])",
"(Block-name: Header)",
"(Block-expand: 1)",
"(Block-enable: 1)",

];

Yes, that would be possible in a custom post-processor.
Never alter or replace those that are included in a standard installation.
On a next update these might be overwritten by a new standard one.
A custom post-processor is not overwritten and not deleted unless you delete the complete QCADCAM folder and sub-folders yourself.

There exist a few post-processors that have this build in.
E.g. ...\QCADCAM\postprocessors\LinuxCNC.js

You have to include the complete LinuxCNC.prototype.writeHeader function in your custom post-processor.
Replace 'LinuxCNC' with your class name.
In essence you overwrite the standard implementation of this function.

This doesn't alter the export of the standard header stored in this.header
Handled by this.writeBlock("header");
The standard header will thus be exported first.

I see that your header are 4 lines of info
In the first line you use variable "FILENAME" and "DATETIME"
The rest is purely textual to us.
Your header does not contain common instructions like 'G21 G17 G90' for example.
It doesn't go up to a safe position and doesn't start the spindle.

Attached is the custom post. The two lines, block expand and enable, are because I use bCNC to preview paths and this expands all blocks in that program.

Thanks for the reply, I will look in to it shortly.
