I have noticed that if I am using PP from att. folder for Vcarve (mm) the yelow cone disaper when start program is pressed. That was also in previous version when start to test att. PP.
If I use modified usbcnc PP that works ok. I know that is a minor bug but ...
Att. both PP

I would like to share some buttons (vac, dust, cooling) I have made for my cnc.
Fell free to use, just pay attention for correct output pins (adjust accordingly)

Sorry, I was away for one week and my inbox is a mess.
PlanetCNC post correctly calls M6 on tool change (other post does not). Your tool 1 has diameter 0.8mm. Because setting "Settings/User Interface/3D/Handle Size/Tool Size" is enabled, yellow cone is just 0,8mm wide and almost invisible.
I have not make "tool change", If you look in detail to both "nc" and "gcode" files att. you can see that there is no NR1 tool with 0,8mm. There is same tool for both paths - 4mm 2 flute.
Simply, I have generated both files in vectris FROM the same file, once using TNG2 PP (which make a mess) and second with usbcnc PP which works.
All tools are the same, all paths are the same....just other pp...
And, when the cone become almoast invissible, it wont come out when other (older working) program is loaded and run. Only way is restart.

yes, but in gcode shouldnt be anny M6 code, because the vectric is not suporting that... and this one works wrong.
NC file works flawless. In txt file I must take a look when it was changing, date is when it was transfering to this pc.
Howeover, whay it takes first tool from table?
Conclusion: vhen generating gcode file the pp inserts M6 evan when this is not made in vectris...Actually there is export that make single file if the same tool is used.

ok, it was really frustrating me, so I went to other ps, check the files, it looks that time stamp is made ewerytime new wersion is upgraded. My bad, I didn' know that, probbably I have make some test tool inserts
in werry first runup of the software (2 years ago) and that was still inside the TNG.
But, why pp inserts M6 ? Why takes first tool from the table list ?
Tool is chozen in vectric, which offset will then bee taken (0,8 or 4mm) ?
For now I have just errase all the tools from TNG list and simulation now works...

Post should insert M6 on every tool change. Then you define tool in Vectric you also set tool number (1 in your case).
0.8mm and 4mm are tool diameters and not offsets. Diameter compensation is enabled with G41/G42 codes. Because Vectric already made compensation these codes are not used.
Z offset is enabled with G43 g-code. Your g-code uses this and takes value from tooltable.
