Hi Andrew,

Creating G-code for cnc-laser, the laser-tool can not be correctly set at all.

Attached a laser tool proposal

Changed to feature request. This has simply not been implemented at this point.
Note that a mill tool with a very small diameter can be used instead.
For specific G-codes or other codes, a custom postprocessor should be used.

Custom codes could be added to the postprocessor preferences (instead of the tool preferences as suggested) to create a "generic" laser postprocessor.
