Given lots of people have quick change toolposts that are fairly repeatable these days, it would be nice to have a tool offset feature.
I was thinking you could have a primary tool that you zero from then all other tools you could zero from this tool.
For example if I turned a 10mm cylinder, I could zero my primary tool from its face and outer diameter. Then I could take the tool out and put in a parting tool, face the end, zero then turn the outer diameter and zero. But these would be not resetting the zero but instead these would be creating the offset from the primary tool.
There could be a button used to swap between tools so it knows which offsets to use. We could even then save these offsets in the code config once we know what they are.
