Ed, I thought it fitting for the date. I will change it back to the guard Monkey Friday.  A pit bull ain't got nuten on my amo slinging monkey. 

Kristin, we use to do that here too. Their are still a few full service stations around but for the most part no. I used to run a shop that was attached to a full service station. It was funnie when someone would come up wanting a little bit of gas and hearing what Sam (the owner) would tell them. Had one rude fellow come up and said hey old man give me a dollars worth. Sam just grunted and told him to pump it his D**n self. LOL Told another Hot D**n, what you want to do, sniff the nozzel. LOL I miss Sam.

Simple 3D? Never heard of that. Have a look at Artcam and solid works with a solidcam add on. Also might want to look at Vectric. What type of work are you doing?

Richard, typo in that script too. At the bottom wher it has    Code "G00 G54 Z" & ChangeZ   should be   Code "G00 G53 Z" & ChangeZ


It should RC. Depending on the version of Mach your runinng. The bleeding edge version will appreciate a sleep(*) rather than the while (is moveing) wend

Ed, you seem to be slightly confused again. My family is pretty small. You should know this. After all the fighting you had to do to win my sister you should know we are in high demand.     If there were so many of us why would you tolerate the daily beatings she gives you? You know what I say. Women, Can't live with them, can't live without them........... or their sister............... or their cousin. Point is, you have to have one.   

Oh yeah, don't worry about giving out a kiss, she will take it if she wants it and you will do exactly as she said either before or after the beating. Make it easy on yourself.

Richard, paste this in your M6Start macro and save. This will move the z first in machine coord. to what you have set in tool change posotion DRO then the x and y at the same time to machine coord you have set in tool change posotion DROs.  Let me know how it does.

'Get the tool change pos from the settings page
  ChangeX = GetOEMDRO(1200)
  ChangeY = GetOEMDRO(1201)
  ChangeZ = GetOEMDRO(1202)
 
 
  Code "G00 G54 Z" & ChangeZ
  Code "G00 G53 X" & ChangeX & "Y" & ChangeY

Can't remember if I had to do a custom macro for that to work or not though.

Richard, look on the settings page and you should see the tool change dros there. Put the value in there that you want to use for tool change posotion and give it a go.
