When replying, there is the option of also editing the title or subject. Not sure why is that possible, should be possible only for the original poster, but it is available to all users!

And its very hard to get it back to the topic you want and keep it there!

It does get back to the original whenever the original poster replies, if he or she does not change that.

Obviously I have done something stupid (AGAIN) but for the life of me I can't find it.

I would expect a dialogue box or a message asking me to confirm tool change or something to that effect..

Typically the system sets the pin iocontrol.0.tool−change when a tool change is needed, and then waits for the pin iocontrol.0.tool−changed to be set before continuing.

It sounds like you are stuck in the middle of this sequence.

Typically the two pins are either directly connected to each other in HAL or they are both connected to the hal_manualtooolchange component which pops up a dialog box telling you which tool is needed.

I suspect that this link has not been made in your HAL.

Yep, I found the answer in this very thread as I detailed above.

SO MUCH good info here, just gotta find it and sometimes you get blinded to it as you're scrolling through pages and pages of search results.

Hello, I have the probe screen installed and working well.
But remap M6 and manual tool changes do not work. there is no manual tool change dialogue and M6 Tn makes it
move to the tool change position and then up on the Z axis it is then necessary to pres the program stop button to continue.
I have attached the hal and ini file.
Is there somebody that could guide me through the trouble shooting of this issue, I am not all that familiar with linux.
But have set several machines up with linuxcnc although slowly and with some difficulty.
this one has me stumped.
