Well, I think I made it work by simply commenting out the very last move in the auto tool probe ngc.
My rationale for this:
Any post processor should have a move to the proper Z height after a tool change, unless there are very special circumstances. Thus, the return to the previous position in XY is good, while returning to Z is unnecessary, since the next line in the gcode should take it to whatever safe height was chosen in CAM.
So, my setup is such that all the auto tool probe Z clearing moves are at G53Z0 which is the maximum height of physical travel.
I do the initial offset measurement before starting a program,which measures the tool setter and then the top of the work piece. Since my workpiece top is at Z0, I just set it when the probe finishes probing. Then find XY0 and set that
Next, remove the probe and shout "Fire in the Hole!" Because that makes you look cool to onlookers when pushing cycle start.
From there, the tool change to initial tool works fine. Then, the next tool change which used to error out since the tool was much longer just stays at max travel until the nc code takes over again.
So, give that a try. Just comment put the final Z move and see if that fixes things.
