Title: Tool Change Message Box.
Post by: Wallerawang on February 24, 2022, 04:37:54 AM

Hello

Some time ago when I had a tool change I would get a message box up to say some thing like - A tool change has been requested, change your tool and hit cycle start. I think it had a box that said "don't show this again" and I hay have hit the yes to that.
Does a standard Mach4 install still have the tool change message box and if so how can I get it back please - sometimes I don't notice the tool change LED blinking.
Thanks
Steve

Check the docs for the command mc.mcCntlToolChangeManual, this should be in your m6 macro

Just so every one knows - My m6 script (which I have never changed) didn't have any of the tool change messages in it. I copied the m6 from my other mill with the messages in it over to this mill and now I know what Mach is up to.
Thanks for the help.
