Optional Stop (M01) before tool change on lathe

New Creo user here, taking a ton of time to find where Creo has hidden many things.

Is there an easy way to add M01s before tool changes without screwing around in the tool motions tab?

Trying to avoid doing it in Notepad afterwards.

    Brett,

    I have the op stop built into my posts with an insert command in the loadtl section of the fil file so the operator can turn it on or off at the machine. This is all milling macines but I don't know why it wouldn't work for lathes.

    That'll work. I'll see if we can't get an approval on that change.
