Todd, A job que is an interesting idea and I can see were it would be useful. I am working on a new GUI and I have been thinking of all the interesting things to eventually add to make it more useful, I will keep this in mind and start thinking about how to implement it.
Another idea I have in mind is the ability to have multiple tooltables, one for each job. Then all you would have to do to change jobs it is load the right tools into the tool-changer (or load the right tool tray if you are lucky enough to have a machine with one) select the right tooltable and go.
