Tool offset

I'm trying to get Txxyy working like our other lathes in our shop. I'm running linuxcnc 2.6.7 and using gmoccapy. What would be the recommended procedure?

I already read all the posts on this topic and I'm confused should I do the patch? remap? change .ini settings? create new remaps?

I would suggest remap. You ought to be able to just copy the relevant files from the sim->axis->lathe-fanucy config.

(run that config first from the chooser, see if it acts like you expect)

Thanks, it worked. Ran the sim first, then used the .ini file from the sim to figure out where all the files needed to go, copied them to the new destinations. Loaded my configurations with the new files and paths fixed and it worked.

While using this remap I noticed the offsets are not being applied the first time I command a Txxyy. It takes two commands instead of one, first one changes the tool and applies Txx offset but the actual wear offset is not apllied until I rerun Txxyy a second time. So basically it only applies the wear offset if the tool is already there. Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Hmm, no, not really.

Can you raise that as a bug on the bug tracker assigned to me? (The bug tracker is in the "Community" section,

Just did, I'm on 2.6.7 but I set milestone as future-release by mistake.
