Can you attach your xml, also what kind of drives do you have? What breakout board?

Ok I am sure something will happen again. When I close Mach down it want's to know if I want to save the fixture. Does it matter how I respond to that?
Thanks again for the help. Do you have any idea what would make it take the dive to begin with?
Thanks for the help, I wasn't able to work on the machine yesterday. Here are the files. The xml is from the machine builder and is configured for the machine. After multiple attempts at reloading it the machine seems to know where it is again. I would still like to learn the cause of the crash and how to recover. When doing the finish pass it started at the bottom missing the bottom wing tips. When it reached about mid way it went back to clean up the wings. The crash occured when it went back to the middle to continue. It just kept going down.
Hi
have been running mach 3 turn for 9 months with great success
have just finished converting an X3 mill and is now working ok
but am finding it a bit difficult compared with the lathe
I will only post one problem at time
1st one is I cannot get my programme to change tools
I am at the moment writing my own g code
I have set all my tool offsets into the table and am using G59 as my work offset 3 of the tools are in 7-8 and 9
when I call the tool in my programme by entering
G59 G43 H7
the dro with tool No doesn't change and the program uses the tool that was set up in the tool offset page
I must have done something wrong if anyone can help please
Colin
