Wow those are old tool tables!  We changed to the new format in
2009.  I see there are several of them, one in univpwm and the rest
in runtests.

I think they are still auto-converted as soon as linuxcnc runs and
exits, though, so it seems like the problem shouldn't last very
long...?

It's documented here:

http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html

Section 6

Yes this should probably be done in the 2.6 branch, which is the
oldest active release branch.

[Emc-developers] tool table editor

[Jon Elson]

I was just informed that there is a quirk in the tool table 
editor. If the existing tool table is of the old style, with 
the column label first line and looks like this :

POC FMS LEN DIAMCOMMENT
  1   1   0.0 0.0 first tool
  2   2   0.0 0.0
  3   3   0.0 0.0
  4   4   0.0 0.0
  32  32  0.0 0.0 last tool

Then the tool table editor silently fails, and you have no 
idea why.

This brings me to another item, I need to understand the new 
signed off by system so I can commit these files in the 
configs files.

And, finally, we should figure out how far back this 
compatibility problem exists, and whether any other versions 
should get this merged in.

Thanks,

Jon

Re: [Emc-developers] DISCUSS: Merge the "joints-axes" project to master branch

[Curtis Dutton]

Also agree. I've been using it over a year in production with axis gui.
It's worked very well for us.
