Did marlin used to tell which tool you needed to change to? Does fluidnc?
I do not think i see anywhere what tool to change to!
That would be so handy! If it can be done.
At least on the FluidNC side it can. If you’re using Estlcam, the instructions have you setup the tool change gcode.

Instead of this line:
M0 (MSG change tool, probe)
You can change it to something like this:
M0 (MSG Change Tool to <n>, Attach Probe)
<n> is a variable for the Tool name.
The issue I have had, is that message gets lost pretty easily.
If you’re using WebUI v2, you may want to see if that works for you.
If you’re using WebUI v3 (which to my knowledge is not officially recommended yet), I created an extension called “Hold Monitor”. It stores the last message displayed and when a hold occurs (like during a tool change), it shows the last message in a popup with a resume button. Note that if you didn’t have the UI displayed when that hold occurred, the message would be lost.

I will double check, I thought that is the way I have it, and I am still on v2, so thank you!
Thank you, it was not like that, that is why I was not getting tool name
