How to setup “ToolChange” and “Tooltable” and “G-code modification”？

Not so easy to describe:

1. tools will be seleceted by graphic colors: check video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebe2kFlE058 at 0:10
   in the video green is assigned for a pen, red / dash line for weak laser, black for strong laser for cutting.
2. Enable Grouping (Graphic Import - Path Import)
3. Add tool exchange command (Graphic Import - Add tool change command)
4. To interrupt drawing to refresh water-color you may want:
5. Setup your script in 4) for your needs.

I don't understand how do you select a color. I will insert a a position for tool change position...

In new version (I still need some weeks) tool can also be selected by tool-width <-> pen-width tool-name <-> Graphic-Layer

GCode manual says you need to switch the plane via G17, G18 or G19 - not sure if grbl supports this: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g2-g3
