General Mach Discussion / Re: Still confuse about Mach3

Jaime,
The tool shape can be changed and serves as quick visual indication of tool type when you click one of the
numbered tools. If that helps you then change it.
See page 5-34 for Configuring the Toolpath Dialog in the Mach3Mill CNC Controller Software Installation
and Configuration Manual.
See page 5-39 for General Logic Configuration in the Mach3Mill CNC Controller Software Installation
and Configuration Manual.
From the manual:
Axis DRO Properties: Tool Selections Persistent, if checked, remembers the selected tool at shutdown
of Mach3.
Optional Offset Save, if checked, will prompt to verify that you want to actually do any save requested
in Persistent Offsets.
Persistent Offsets, if checked, will save the work and tool offsets in the permanent tables you have
selected between runs of Mach3Mill. See also Optional Offset Save.
Persistent DROs, if checked, the axis DROs will have the same values on startup as when Mach3 is
closed down. Note that the positions of the physical axes are unlikely to be preserved if the machine
tool is powered down, especially with micro-stepper drives.
