I'm having some retract issues along with not fully understanding what commands I should add to the Fusion 360 post processor to fire off a tool change that will give me a tool change dialog. Can you help? I've been continuing a thread over at http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-po...t/false#M11367 and this has the back story. Thanks!


I would like my process to be as follows:


1. Load tool
2. Home all axes
3. Touch off using touch plate
4. Rehome Z at part zero
5. Manually power on spindle and run the program (Hit Play)

6. Have dialog pop up mentioning tool change when this occurs in the program (Z retracts to location that I can change tool safely.)
7. Power off spindle
8. Add new tool
9. Touch off using touch plate
10. Rehome Z at part zero (Should I do this? Or, should I use the touch off option in LinuxCNC?)
11. Manually power on spindle and continue the operation by pressing pause (to release) in LinuxCNC.
