Hey
I got to making my m1s file today for auto tool probing and it works just like I have been wanting with one exception, the G10 L2 P command gives an error in respect with the P and won't post the new offset. Attached is the file pretty much as I have been trying it.
Tool = GetSelectedTool         'current tool
REM Context 10001
If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
code"G0g90Z" & 16.0
code"G0g90X" & 24.02 & "Y" & 1.985      'moves to above switch
code "g31 z0 f30"
While IsMoving()
Wend
code "g1g91z.1f30"
While IsMoving()
Wend
code "g31g90z0f5"
While IsMoving()
Wend
MachineZ = GetVar(2002)         'switch contact point
MachineZ = MachineZ - 2.0288      'calculates tool length offset
code "G10 L2 P" & Tool &"Z"&MachineZ   'inserts tool table                                     This seems to be the troublesome line
code "G43H"&Tool         'turns offset to on
code "g0g90z16.0"              
end if

On the problem line change the L2 to a L1 .

With an L2 you are changing a work offset not the tool offset.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
