The macro will create a file called ToolInfo_LATHE.txt in folder ( you need to create the folder) under Mach3 (IE; c:\mach3\LATHE TOOL TABLE ).
Example of txt file content: *Tool1 * MASTER*TIP RAD 0 *X OFFSET 0 *Z OFFSET 0*XWEAR 0 *ZWEAR 0

It doesn't provide the Tip Dir, Turret....., or Post.
You may need to change the macro if the path to cmd.exe is different than c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c" & sCOMMAND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Put the macro in the Mach3 / macros / " the lathe profile folder you will be using"
You may want to change the macro number if you wish and run the macro via the MDI line anytime you alter the tool table.

Just the macro I prefer to use for the lathe,
