Thanks for the racktoolchanger link.

It was a start but the patch does not work on the 2.3.2 sources.

Well I stepped back to 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 and I could patch and compile both
versions (with minor warnings)

The rack-tool-changer has 4 stations at the following machine
x,y-locations 0,10; 0,20; 0,30; and 0,40

I assume that TOOL_SLOT_DELTA in the [EMCIO] below means that the stations
are located with 10 units between in the Y-direction but the mowes are as
follows:
M6 T1 moves Z down, no x,y move
M6 T4 moves Z up and then down, no x,y move

[EMCIO]
EMCIO = io
TOOL_CHANGER_TYPE = 1
TOOL_CHANCE_POSITION = 0 0 -20
TOOL_SLOT_DELTA = 0 10 0 <<<<<<<<<<


When I then change the [EMCIO] section to this:

[EMCIO]
EMCIO = io
TOOL_CHANGER_TYPE = 1
TOOL_CHANCE_POSITION = 0 0 -20
TOOL_SLOT_DELTA = 10 0 0 <<<<<<<<<<

the resulting moves is:
M6 T1   x,y 10,0 z down
M6 T4   x,y 40,0 z down

Any hints how to get the rack to be parallel to the y-axis instead of the
x-axis?
