Is there a chance to use a 3D probe to scan something with an output (in TXT or STL), or to manage a tool height sensor (multiple tools in a single gcode, zeroed on the sensor automatically after manual change) directly in KmotionCNC?
I use to make very big point clouds (>1'000'000 points) with a mechanical 3D touch probe and would be fantastic to have those capabilities directly inside KmotionCNC.
Is it in your road-map or do I have to use Mach3 as my only chance?

Hi Cristian,
You could do those type of things by writing a User C Program. For example you might write a C program to perform a probe of a point (or row of points) and write the result to a file. Then call the program from an MCode or User Button in KMotionCNC.
You can also probe and then update the tool table from a User Program.
But we don't have any specific plans to build in that capability.
