VB and the development of wizards / Re: need help writing script to auto store tool offsets for currently selected tool
« on: October 05, 2014, 12:04:37 AM »Hi Tbc:Thank you John, I tried once to set up one of the screen sets that are out floating around and it did not go well - operator error I am sure.......
What you want to do has been implemented in several screensets, using the Mach3 probe
function by talented Mach3 authors over the years.
On the Mach3 Forum, under Mach Screens/Finished Screens/Mach Blue Probing by Big-Tex.
This is a working tool probe screenset.
The MSM Screenset by Dave Bagby. This screenset has a touch probe, touch plate,
and automatic tool offset functions. This is perhaps the most sophisticated screen set
available, and it is licensed.

The third example is a prolific writer/machinist, Daniel E. Kemp, who goes by the
name "Hoss". He post all his work on on the CNC Zone.
Here is the link to his tool probe script;

Now, knowing this feature is in some of them though its worth a second attempt.
Thank you again for taking the time to post the response - it is much appreciated ;
