    Default manual tool change

    I don't know how to achive manual tool change with tool measurement, tryed check box in Settings/tool change with no sucsses...
    Program pauses for x-time sec then go on. If I try to pause, then there is no possibility to click "tool measurement" button
    I have second input sensor configured on x,y pozition on table but, couldnt be reached - stoping program and clicking "tool measure" just go down on same spot, not moving to x,y position.
    Anny help desirable

    Have just ansvered myself, must check all checkboxes in tool change menue!
    Now I have another problem, strange behavior during the mesuring tool lenght. Z-axes goes up fast, moves to x,y fast, Z goes down fast, then, goes up fast (to correct hight) and realy slowly down again.
    I thik, it shoud goes up, to x,y, position (fast), then it shoud decent certain amount (nice if can be adjusted regarding to hight of sensor) also fast, and only then, for a last few cm/in slowly.

    It will be also nice if the first tool change can be skipped assuming that first tool lenght is mesured with movable sensor (including table or material hight), all others tools shoud be mesured.

    no, I am asking if is possible to have part of down movement of Z axes, just befor toucing sensor, max speed (amount shoud be input in mm/%/in regarding longest tool available), the last part f.e. 2-3cm as is now.
    This will speed up proces for mesuring specialy if safe high is qute high, and object are kinda 3d...
    Second question was if it possible to skip first tool mesurement regarding it has already be done when inserted the tool with movable sensor.
    Thank you for listening! Great Software! I lowe it more an more.

    Assuming this will be implemented in next version.
    I have another suggestion, not really necessary but, more like wisual, the position of the second sensor (for tool measurement) in 3D wiew. It can be like a biger dot or cone or whatever.
    When running test program, can be wissible if the sensor is in working path.
