you can use:

Code: [Select]

   DoOEMButton(252) 'disable Z-axis
   DoOEMButton(253) 'disable A-axis

a second call off OEMButtons will enable them again

to check wether thay are enabled/disabled you can use OEMLed's

Code: [Select]

  If GetOEMLed(88) Then
    MSGBox "Z-Axis is disabled"
  End If

  If NOT GetOEMLed(88) Then
    MSGBox "Z-Axis is enabled"
  End If

  If GetOEMLed(89) Then
    MSGBox "A-Axis is disabled"
  End If

  If NOT GetOEMLed(89) Then
    MSGBox "A-Axis is enabled"
  End If

witch toolchange macro depends on your Settings Config->General Config->Tool Change

if Stop spindle. Wait for cycle Start is selected M6Start.m1s will be excecute when M6 is called in GCode and M6End.M1s
will be started after pressing Cycles Start after Toolchange is fineshed.

if Auto Tool Changer is selected only M6Start.M1s will be exceuted.

in one of this macro you can do your own code, f.e.

Code: [Select]

        'get new tool number
newtool = GetSelectedTool()

       'select Offset by toolnumber
       If newtool = 1 then
           Code "G54"
       Else
           Code "G55"
       End If
