On my mill you can press the "run" button to "OK" the dialog box.
There is a pin belonging to hal_manualtoolchange, you can net that

No reason you shouldn't be able to do all the tool changes in a single file.

You could always start each job with a sequence of G10 L1 P3 to clean up the

It might start constant, but it will be filled up by random numbers as
people touch-off their tools and their work.
This doesn't matter unless the sequence of tool and coordinate

So I will not have a "tool table". That's a nonstarter. I don't
provide bits, people will use whatever they like (a very large range!)
and the CAM stage is their business, not a machine issue. I wouldn't
require them to mod out the tooltable file to match their bits, nor
would I even allow i

I am not in charge of CAM, not in any way. I can't control what people
use to generate g-code and people will be doing whatever they feel like
doing. Many CAM programs start with M6 T1.
There's no reason be requiring a tool table, or stopping for manual
toolchange, on the first M6 T1.

If this machine uses collets and has no way to achieve a reproducible
tool height then I think that making every tool a separate program

Henry Ford saw no reason to ever make a different car than the Model T. The
fact that the Model A came about was mostly done behind his back and when ready
presented to him as fate accompli.
Just because you got away with bad habits when using Mach 3 is no excuse not to

What does this do, just skip toolchanges and state it's changed?
Problem being, if you have a file which changes tools, there will be no
opportunity to do so. The machine won't stop, right?
The machine will have many users, I should mention that. Quirks on how
to set up files, I can personall

Maybe you just need few lines in hal file:
net tool-number <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
net tool-change-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-change =>
iocontrol.0.tool-changed

what it takes to allow multiple tools in a single file. Also, all tool table
fields can be zero without complaint but that could be a PathPilot change.

Someone just brought up g-code from an automated CAM that started with
