[tool change] Respect tool ordering when generating drill job with 'all' tools

[Yiannis Mandravellos]

The issue described here is valid when using tool change, where different drill sizes are present in the same file with embedded tool changes.

I usually order my drills by size (ascending). After ordering, if I select some drills sizes (but not all) and press "Generate", everything works as expected: a "combined" drill file is generated with embedded tool changes and drill sizes are ordered as viewed in the drills list. If I select all drills though, the sorting is not respected so the generated file may ask for tool A, then B, then A again, etc.

Since I am the tool changer (no automatic tool changer), it's frustrating having to change drill bits that were already used before in the same job...

I'm confused trying to understand the problem. I don't see a difference in the code for when you select some or when you select all tools. There also isn't a difference that would affect ordering when tool change is selected.

I wasn't able to replicate the problem either. Could you please post the offending Excellon file, and the G-code files for when you select some and when you select all tools. Also indicate which tools you chose.

Also please indicate in which lines in the a tool repeats (tool A in your description.)
