I do have new profiles with custom names but still had to edit to enable my cycle start button. Oh well thanks again. Now if I could jog from the keyboard on startup this setup will be perfect.

I bookmarked the ftp page incase something I didn't know I needed gets implemented.  Thanks again.

First thing I would check is to make sure there are no screen savers turned on and all power saving  are turned off. Make sure windows isn't shutting down hard drives or trying to conserve energy in any way like sleep mode after a specific amount of time.

I do now lol. Went back and read the docs again and realized I missed the Q. All good now. Works like I was hoping it would. Now I can change my M6 macro back to original. Thank you!

Quick question!  Does the screen load file always get overwritten when installing a newer version. I'm going to install this tomorrow and I'll have to edit it again to get my cycle start button working again.

Didn't work. I put "M61 1" in as the first line. Ran the code and changed to tool 2 and program ended

Ran again and the tool number never changed back to tool one and never stopped for the tool change. Drotoolnumber stays number 2.

Just checked 2.0.5036 is up on the site. Can't find anything about 5194. Where should I look?
