Processor that Supports Multiple Tool Changes

Alright, I have another question. I cannot find a processor preinstalled on Vcarve Pro that supports multiple tool changes and works with LinuxCNC.
Is there one that I missed? Or do I need to download and add one that supports tool changes?
I would like to have one toolpath file which prompts in LinuxCNC when I need to change the tool. Right now I have to have several different toolpath files with one for each tool and it is a pain.

Thanks in advance, Stuart

as far as i know vcarve supports toolchanges , although it's a while since i last used it
it should be easy to hand edit afterwards and add the pause for change

linuxcnc should as you to change tools if it comes across a M6Tx
have you the manual toolchange line in your hal file ?

i'll take a look later today all being well
which ver of vcarve are you using ?

VCarve is the one with the error. Probotix said they programmed linuxcnc for multiple tool changes, but vcarve says the current processor does not support it and will not let me save the gcode.
I'm running VCarve 7.514 I know I can edit the gcode, but what I really would like is a processor that supports tool changes and works with LinuxCNC.
Is there anyway I can edit the post processor to accept tool changes?

i cant see vcarve not supporting toolchanges , it's a basic operation .

Well vcarve supports tool changes and I have saved toolpath files with tool changes in them, but they do not work with linuxcnc. All the post processors on the vcarve software that work with LinuxCNC do not support tool changes.
Is there a processor that I can download that supports tool changes, is compatible with vcarve and works with LinuxCNC?

find attached post with toolchange
i forgot to ask if you needed a metric or inch
iv'e attached a metric one , but if you need the inch just ask and i'll attach it

Ok, great! I'll try it out. I need the inch though. Also I'm not seeing the attachment.

ok iv'e added both in this rar attachment
i have also rebranded them to Linuxcnc , so they will sit quite happy without overwriting the origionals

How do I get to the attachment? I'm no seeing it anywhere. Does this forum work differently?
