<problem This was first reported to emc-users by Jeremy Youngs 2012/7/29 in the context of AXIS. I haven't tested it at a more basic level.>

AXIS does not recognize a tool declared in a line that is followed by a blank line.

As a test, I tried (in 2.5.1 and 2.6.0_pre simulators) editing the tool table provided in the "random tool changer" configuration so that it contained the following

...
T9 P14 ...
<blank line inserted>
T5 P15 ---
T4 P16 ...

I then reloaded the tool table. If I try to load either T9 or T4 in the mdi, AXIS complains that "Requested tool <n> is not fond in the tool table." However, it accepts T5 without complaint.

Regards,
Kent

    Sorry,

    1) there should be a <blank line inserted> following the line "T4 P16 ..."

    2) the three hyphens following T5 P15 should be an ellipses (three full stops); it doesn't affect the discussion but it could cause confusion.
