Oops, you got me there. I assume yours is like this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJyk1OLbmIg For the LinuxCNC versions I use, motion is stopped during a tool change. If you try to bypass it, you'll get a following error. So for your situation, you can't use the tool change loop, darn. It seems there has been talk about this problem and there may be something that may help in version 2.5 coming up, maybe? This is a common style changer, I'm a little surprised this hasn't been fixed by now. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
