What version of linuxcnc are you using...there was a fix for the tooloffset widget for this issue (or at least it sounds the same)

Hi Kaushik,

did you change the offsets within gmoccapy or with external editor?

If within gmoccapy, please report gmoccapy version?
Step by step description to be able to check here for errors.

I am not able to reproduce that.

Please add you tool file and give a step by step description how I can reproduce the error.

Hii

My issue was
1.When I change offsets of tool inside gmoccapy and then i apply those changes to reflect it to tool.tbl file
2.Then I change tool to recently updated tool then it use to give me error "Tool number X not found in tool table"

But,
my problem got solved by downloading and using latest master

But for my curiosity can you plz tell me the issue ie what you changed to get the bug solved

Thanx Norbert and Chris M :)

Hi,

it wasn't me, it was Chris,
he pushed on 15. Sept. 2014 the following patch:

gladevcp -tooledit, flush tool file to disk

hopefully fix an occasional bug that would make linuxcnc
tell you that the tool was missing from file when it was obviously there.
It seems maybe the file was not written to disk before linuxcnc was
told to read it. why it would be _blank_ I don't know.
I could cause this reliable when testing without linuxcnc, probably
because of the big pause as it tried to talk to non-existant linuxcnc..

python and the operating system typically cache data that are to be written to disc, for efficiency reasons.
So we would write the toolfile out to disc and tell linuxcnc to re-read it.
The data was (apparently) cached instead of written right away.
so linuxcnc would read the file then a small time later the file was actually written to disc.
Strangely (but luckily) the file would be blank when linuxcnc re-read it.
And that caused the error.

Now I added a command to force the file to be written immediately

And it has worked perfectly since you made this update.

Thanks Again Chris
