Optional tool lenght measurement

Hello guys,

Its been a while i digged in to my configuration, so forgive me if i am a bit rusty.

My machine is already running for 4 years or so. Its a manual toolchange machine that runs gmoccapy with auto tool measurment.
I have collected a few BT40 holders over the years and therefore i do not need to measure each tool i put in. It is already in the tooltable and so the lenght is already known.
But for exemple for my drill chuck i change the drills so i need a measurement.

How do i get that at the start of the toolchange routine. When i am asked to change to tool ... I can choose if i want measurement of this tool or i want the tooltable to handle it?

Should be able to add a digital input check to your tool change routine that runs a sub routine that measures your tool then forks back to your regular program. You could use a physical switch or an interface button, then use o100 if to check that input and run your tool measure routine. Exact impametation would be intersting. Perhaps an easier way would be to breakout your drilling gcode in to separate file and run them manually then continue with all your preset tools
