No problem Josh. Glad your getting sorted and learning. You haven't seen the tip of the iceberg yet. Mach just has so many tools in its box to get the job done. VB, Modbus, Plug-ins to name a few.

Be careful, this stuff is addictive.

Josh, your problem is in your config, system hotkeys. MDI select is set to 49 which equals 1.

Josh, M06 T1 is calling a tool change (M06) to tool 1 (T1). If the toolchange option isn't enabled in general cofig, it will ignore the M6 command. Do you have a tool changer on your machine? If not, lets do more on this later if needed.

Well, let no man doubt just how far the hand of Hood has reached in this world. We pick at each other a lot but he truly is a great guy. So great in fact he has touched many across the globe no doubt. Any man doubting this should cast all doubt aside right now as I have solid proof of it. I caught a picture of one of Hoods "Friends" while shopping for school supplies for the kids at a neighboring town. What a guy! Spreading his love for man all over the world.

I don't really understand what your asking. Do you have backlash enabled? If so, disable it and see if it helps.

No worries Josh, its easy to do. At the top of this reply there is a tab, reply. It takes you to the full reply page that is a little different than the quick reply at the bottom.  Once you clcik it you'll see the reply box and the words additional options listed just to the left below the box. Click on it and browse to you C:\Mach 3 folder. There you will find your screen set. I don't know if you have a custom or not but by your problems I think maybe you do. It will have the .set extension on it. If it is the default 1024.set you'll have to rename it before posting it.

Hope this helps,
Brett
