Maybe this can be done and I just don't know it. I like the tool returning to a specific location for tool changes. I have added in my post processor a location of X0 Y0 Z2. Could Mach3 do this for me? Is there some way that I could have a script or option to have it return to a user specific location on tool changes?

Hi Richard:
Yes, in the M6Start.m1s macro, put the following..
code"G53Z0"
code"G32*********Yyy"
Set eh Z and x,y location to whatever you like. At M6 time , it will execute those macro calls and move to that location..
Regards,
Art

Sorry mistype:
That shoudl be G53, not G32..
G53 is the move to a machine location, so determine the machine coordinate location you wish to use and replace the xx and yy and the Z location in the example to what you wish to use..
Thanks,
