V5 vertical lift on Toolchange

So the new Retraction on Toolchange settings are nice.
BUT.
It does not do a Vertical Lift (or Z hop) on a tool change! Thats when you need it the most!

Re: V5 vertical lift on Toolchange

This is not a problem on the E3D tool changer since that Z hop is done by RRF and not via the slicer's gcode. But for an IDEX it is a serious issue and a vertical lift for retraction on a tool change should be there. There's a lot more IDEX Mendels out there then there are TCs.
It's really too bad that the Owners (who seem to be the people that do all the dev on this app) did not do adequate user evals and user testing!!

Ok... I see it.
There's a nice new change to the Toolchange script!
Now you can do a Pre Toolchange script and a Post Toolchange script and a Z hop can easily go in the Pre. Cool.
