I am interested in getting manual tool change to work and I have followed the below instructions. When I issue an M6 T1, the machine does not move the 4th axis (angular: C) to the position set in the ini file: TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 4 5 10 90. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If others are looking for a solution to this problem, don't forget that you need the following line too: linkpp iocontrol.0.tool-prepare iocontrol.0.tool-prepared with the other 5 below.
