Hello from Germany
Is the there a possibility to set a M7/M8 into the settings to each tool?
Some bigger tools into my projects needs a vacuum cleaner and the little bits dont need it. I want to toggle it automatically by M7/M8/M9 G-Gode.
...but how?

You can do it with a change to the post processor and the use of tool notes or you can create a separate post processor that always has the commands in it and use it only for those jobs where it's needed.

There is a post processor editing guide on the VCarve help menu. That will give you the information you need to make the changes if you're comfortable with editing files in Windows.
