Hi everyone,
I came across a problem: in mach3 software, I want the new tool automatically go to origin point after change the tool. How can I set up it, suppose the second tool's position is (10,0,0) compared to the first tool.
Is there any method to set this in Mach3 software?

Edit the M6 Start and M6 macros to do what you want.

Are your tools in toolholders with the lengths in the tooltable? If so, use G43.

you mean the code G43, can I do it throught software? Since I don't want to edit the codes because it's too big and almost impossible to edit.
can I make any setup in Mach3? Such as the "Offsets(Alt-5)"?
