Hi Steve,
I would go to MFG SETUP->WORKCELL setup pop-up and select PPRINT->MODIFY. This will open up the PPRINT settings. There are 2 options which we have set to YES. TOOL_TABLE and OUTPUT_ONLY_USED_TOOLS.This will get a tool table listing at the beginning of the program printout.
The next thing you may want to do is manipulate this into something less redundant or usable. Also, you must have a description of the tool in the tool dialog setup box. You will get 2 descriptions, one which is the generic filename you saved the tool as, in the tool library and the 2nd is from the tool description in the tool dialog setup box.
