This is not the code we need, we need to see the M6.msc file, this is what controls the tool changer.

You can find this in the mach4/profiles/profilename/macros/m6.msc

Turn logging on in diagnostics tab and put some messages into your code to see where it gets to.  Better still post your code so we can help fix it.

I would guess its a XML file corruption fault, have a look in your backup and there should be backup versions of your profile, rename one from before your lockdown and try that.

There may be a mechanical reason why you are having problems with very fine text, backlash in the drive screws, belts, bearings, etc.  It can also be you do not have the resolution to produce very fine detail.

When ever you update a DRO or in a while loop or send a message you need to have a short sleep() 50 to 150 is usually enough time for mach to update data in the background.

If you still have problems make sure you have a genuine licence file.

That is why its pausing, set it to CV on G64 or click the button on screen and remove any G61 from your code.

Why are you not using a G31, movement stops when it switches and you read #2002 which is the Z touch point.

The same reason why it says G73 retracts, the documentation is wrong.
