Tool table save issue

[rogerfries]

When I try to do a "Save as" on the Tooling page to save the tool table I get "Error on line: 1114 - Type mismatch"

Windoze XP
MSM Pro 2.0.6
Mach 3 3.0.43.066

Love MSM thanks!

Hi Roger,
Hum, works ok when I test it - so I've some questions for you...
1) this is a mill mode tool table - correct?
2) any error messages displayed before that type mismatch message?
Any entries of note in the history log file?
3) have you recently updated MSM from a prior version? if so what MSM version did you update from?
4) does this happen every time you try to do a "save as"?
If so, please do this:
a) click "save Mach TT" - that gets the internal mach TT saved to disk in mach's internal format.
b) please email C:\Mach3\Macros\<your profile name>\tools3.dat to me.
c) also email to me the .m3tt file that you were trying to save when if gave the error message.

ver 2.0.0
4) does this happen every time you try to do a "save as"?
Yes
If so, please do this:
Yes
a) click "save Mach TT" - that gets the internal mach TT saved to disk in mach's internal format.

b) please email C:\Mach3\Macros\<your profile name>\tools3.dat to me.
c) also email to me the .m3tt file that you were trying to save when if gave the error message.

Mach tool table attached, the .m3tt never saved

This is not a blocking issue for me. Everything else is working perfectly. The tool table saves ok. I just can't do a "Save as"

Thanks!

Hi Roger,
The tools3.dat file has some corrupted data in it and that was crashing the MSM save as routine. MSM should handle that more gracefully, and I'm adding a fix for this in the next release.

In the mean time, attached is a fixed mach tool table.
please copy this to C:\Mach3\Macros\<your profile name>\tools3.dat

Then fire up mach/msm and try the save as again.
Please let me know if the save now is OK or not (that will confirm the problem & solution to me)

The Tool table correction seems to have donr the trick. Thanks!
