Hey,

I've just figured it out...the settings is saved, but now when I type in T0101 or T0202 etc. it shows in Mach 3 and goes to the 2nd tool, but nothing happens to my toolpost.
On the general config page, I am on auto tool change.

Can I change the tool on the MDI line or should I write a specific program? Do you have examples or print screens or images that you can maybe send me, like you did on the general logic config page?
Thx for your input and sorry to be a pain the ass

Hi Hood,

I'm referring to another conversation you had with someone (see below:)

You want to save that as m6start.m1s and place it in the macro folder of your profile. For example if you go to Operator menu in Mach  and then VB Script Editor a window will pop up, paste it there then file menu and save as option. Browse to your profiles macro folder (eg C:\Mach2\Macros\Mach3Turn) and call it m6start.m1s. There will likely be already one there so just overwrite it. If you have a custom profile it will be that instead of the Mach3Turn in the example above

I tried to save my settings the same way you gave it to him, and it doesn't want to work.
I have Mach 3 and not Mach 2, is that where the problem comes in?

Also, where can I find m1s extension? Is it a program that I can download or buy?

Thanks

Hi,

The program settings you gave me was done in notepad format and saved on my C drive as well as underneath the folders Macros, Mach3 Turn. BUT it doesn't want to open when I'm in VScript.
How can I save these settings otherwise?

Please help

My general logic configuration screen is different from yours, it doesn't have Rot 360 rollover.

What must I do?

Thanks

Hallo
Please help.
I built an auto rotary tool changer with a stepper motor. It doesn't have any solinoids. I use my B axis for my toolpost.
My only problem is that I don't know how to tell Mach 3 that this has to be my toolpost axis. I want it to be a 6 or 12 station tarret and I don't know how to configure my settings in Mach 3 to let my toolpost operate.

Please let me know or if you have settings for me?
Thanks
