Tool Manager Option: Stop Unconditional

Hello all

I would like to suggest that, inside of a Tool Manager, for an specific Tool, to have a flag that we can enable "Stop Unconditional" with a message. Then, when the simulation does a Tool Change for this Specific Tool, simulation will stop and showing the message. The reason is because is very usual to NC Programmers to do the CAM in parallel with real cutter tools being developed. It will warm that, up to receive the final drawing approval from cutter tool engineering team, programmers will be remembered that final drawing is not approved yet and simulation maybe not match the reality.

I did already inside of Tool Change subroutine, but it not sounds smart....

Regards

Daniel
