To follow up, I just built both 2.5.1 and 2.6.0_pre simulators (using latest available source code via git). They both choke on blank lines in the tool table but not in the way I envisioned. In either simulator, if I 1) run the "random tool changer" sim configuration that comes with the distribution and 2) edit the accompanying tool table to introduce two blank lines, one in the middle and one at the end, e.g., ... T9 P14... <blank line> T5 P15... T4 P16... <blank line> and 3) reload the tool table then Linuxcnc complains if I try to load either T9 or T4 using mdi but accepts T5 without complaint. I've posted this to the bug tracker. Now, if only I had an automated tool changer :-) Regards, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
