I think you were in the meeting so have probably seen this, but I will repeat it: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ToolDatabase This describes a tool database that I developed in discussion with Tormach. It considers the possibility of a machine having a number of tool carousels, for example. Some of the mappings may seem backwards, but it is this one-to-many mapping that suggests the mappings. One thing that is worth considering is that (in G-code at least) the programme can only pick a tool with a single integer. It makes sense that this could be one of several tools, with the least-worn (or just an unbroken replacement) being chosen by external processing. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
