    Default Multiple Probes for Tool #99

    So I have two probes, different dia for the ball and of course different tool height. Is there a way I can set one to be #98 and the other #99 and use both? looks like PathPilot only wants Tool 99 for Passive like probes.

    Right now I manually edit the dia & height for the desired probe into position 99. Hoping for a shortcut.

    Cheers

    The probe-related gCode instructions (G38.x) work with any tool number. PathPilot's conversational probe routines insist on tool #99, but you can write your own routines to use a specified different tool or the current tool, whatever it is.
