This is now working in Axis/emc2 from a fresh check of CVS-I have checked it out in sim, not on a real machine yet:

1. start a program
2. stop in the middle of the program (maybe the tool needs to be changed)
3. jog the head up
4. change your tool (I haven't tried touching the simulated too off yet)
5. reload the tool table
6. under the 'Machine' menu item- select 'Run from selected line'
7. the tool changes to the correct size and starts where I left off.
8 Yay!

I just wanted to point out to all the people who wondered if axis/emc2 could start in the middle of a program that this does work. You could start in the middle of a program in emc, even in the old xemc days, but I don't think the reload tool table edit trick was working then.
