SOLVED: Operation Move To loads Tool 1 which is not in use

[rodw]

I want to use Sheetcam's Move To operation to sever a sheet after a job so I can index a job to cut the best yield out of a full 2400 x 1200 sheet on a 1200 x 1200 table.

I'm using LinuxCNC's plasmac config and cutting with tool #2
At the end of the cut Sheetcam is loading tool #1 for no reason (its never used in this job)
I've commented out these additional unwanted lines with a ; below

Code: Select all

  G0  X0.000 Y599.000
  M190 P2 (Load Plasmac Plasma Controller Tool #2)
  M66 P3 L3 Q2  (Wait for the Plasmac Plasma Controller to acknowledge the change)
  G0  X0.000 Y599.000
  F#<_hal[plasmac.cut-feed-rate]>
  M3 S1
  G1 X1200.000
;  M190 P1 (Load Plasmac Plasma Controller Tool #1)
;  M66 P3 L3 Q2  (Wait for the Plasmac Plasma Controller to acknowledge the change)
;  G1 X1200.001 Y599.001 (Add tiny extension)
  M5

The problem I have is the Gcode will wait for up to 2 seconds for Plasmac to retrieve the new tool before proceeding.
I can't see in my postprocessor what is causing this. (M66 P3 L3 Q2 means wait for input 3 for 2 seconds. It goes true once the tool is loaded)
Is there a method for the Move to That I can modify to remove this unwanted toolchange or is it baked into the Move to Operation? It is very buggy right now!

SOLVED: Actually, I think its a bug in my post. If you do the cut using a feedrate without selecting a tool, it does what its meant to do as it retains the previous feedrate.
If you are tempted to try this, make a new part at the end of your job, do not import a drawing and add the moveto commands to that and it will be sweet. At one stage, I added it to a nested part and it severed the sheet 30 times
