This is for a lathe, but the same issues apply to a mill aswell.
While running G-code, the tool change scripts handle everything, but what happens when you're not running a G-Code file?
For example how do you cycle through tools while setting up/checking/changing them?
Do you have a dro setup for commanding a certain tool number, just rely on typing into the MDI, or....?
The reason I'm asking, is this is the first time I've had to deal with an ATC, and I'm not sure what the usual/best way is of dealing with it manually, so I'm not sure on how best to set up a custom screen to handle it.
