Remap of M6 not working correctly

Now that you mention it, yes, I do not remember putting these iocontrol pins anywhere. I knew that I might be making some stupid mistake. I guess I will go to workshop to check although I just put kids to sleep.

 To be honest, no, I did not try that because on previous retrofit it worked. IMHO specifying M command and then its parameters makes sense, doing other way around feels awkward and wrong. But ok, I will try that.

I am testing from MDI. I _think_ that I tried a test file once but am not sure. Ok, that is 3rd point in my list to check.

I will take a look, it is very likely that I have deleted/overwritten it. And the lack of errors is exactly what makes it difficult as I have absolutely no clue where to look. I think that lack of those iocontrol HAL pins seems to be very likely cause, on my way to check that.

Reversing to Tn M6 did not help.
Adding  also did not do the trick but then I tried the second part of your suggestion of watching those iocontrol pins that relate to tool change and noticed that tool-prepare goes high that led me to think that it might be waiting for the tool to become prepared, so I tried this and ended up with MSG messages displayed and some actual motion to happen. Thank you very much!!! That was a silly mistake as usual!
