Picking a specific tool

[Micheal Leahy]

HI

I have contributed to your development of Camotics. I am using the 64 bit version --- nice program.

I have a question.
When I import a Gcode file, the tool aways defaults to the first tool in the default tool list.
I have no facility to change the tool and pick a different one.

If I delete all the tools and only have my chosen tool designated as (1) in tool table, it will still come up with the same warning and generate a new default tool.
It ignors the tool I have already created and simulate with this default tool.

No matter what I do, it always comes up with the same error message. This is even when there is a full set of tools in the tool table and the tool that is designated as( 1 ) exists.

Copied from Full Layout

This is every time I open the program or load a new Gcode

WARNING:Auto-creating missing tool 1

What am I doing wrong?

This appears to be a bug.  Something in the code must be accessing tool 1 before the tool table is loaded.  I've opened a new issue to track this bug: https://github.com/CauldronDevelopmentLLC/CAMotics/issues/218
