Can you post your (not working) tool.lib ?

It may be something simple like the subroutine path that I have edited to get my buttons working

Please explain and post related stuff

Hi Fern
The last entry in the tool.tbl is the one that I added and is causing the problem, if I remove it using an editor aal is fine.
I added ":/home/philip/linuxcnc/configs/Maximus/ROUTINES" to the end of the SUBROUTINE PATH to get my side panel buttons to work aswell.

I renamed tool.tbl to tool.txt as I could not upload it.

You may have too many tools.

Accordind with this documentation the maximum is 56
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ToolTable

I do not know if the last empty line count

Hi, im playing with nativecam in lathe mode, and so far everything works.
however, sometimes I get this error, and can only fix it by restarting linuxcnc.
any ideas?

Hi René

G96 <D-> S- (Constant Surface Speed)
G97 (RPM Mode)

Open /home/emc/nativecam/scripts/ncam.ngc and find G96 and see if S follows this and it should not be 0. If 0 then in Tool Change see what speed you have entered for Constant Surface
