You would have to create a fil file for this, if i m not mistaken. Not up to speed on the g-post yet. I am using Campost and it does trigger the line you want every time you need it.


You can have it on every toolchange or just on some that are more critical. The trigger would have to come from the cl-file.
 
Just what I got for ya quick.

1. Setup your call to tool check in such a way that the MACHINE reads the active tool #. This will save you a TON of pain. My example reflects doing this on a HAAS machine. If you don't have any way to read the tool number via parameter (machine side) then you will have extra code (FIL side) in order to "build" the tool breakage line. This is why I say you need to determine how you can read the active tool machine side and setup the breakage line according. If it is done as I am telling you you can use direct INSERT (the line will be the same everytime).
2. Use the insert command for such things (in FIL). Example of how I do it shown below. This is only the line that adds the code you speak of. The rest of the LOADTL section is not included.
