outputting Tool discription instead of tool_name 1

[CEMENTHE4D]

Been trying to get the output to force Tool description instead of tool_name, mainly because nobody likes a "DRILLING_TOOL" or "UGTI0371_038" to describe a tool. And I dont want to re-input information that is already there.

Any Ideas? TIA

On the tool dialog there is a description field and you can use the MOM variable mom_tool_description to output the text. The only thing is you don't add the description you will get something like 5-PARAMETER TOOL output
