Perhaps modify the G-code generator to do as you say and add a tool-change. But how does the planner know when best to change the tool? FreeCAD's path planner is pretty good but still in the early stages. I know many people like to hand-code g-code files, but just try to make the housing for a battery-powered electric drill with hand-written g-code. One side of the housing is very mechanical with bearing and motor supports and blind thread and the outside is all organic compound curves. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
