Ok let's try and error

please change

'look for OEMTRIG1
If Not IsActive(OEMTRIG1) Then

to

'look for OEMTRIG1
If IsActive(OEMTRIG1) = False Then

should be the same put try please.

Ok Mike,

depending on the fact, that i am getting older
some processes of thinking taking more time.

so the function GetTurretpos() has got a little brother
witch is called GetNextTurretPos() witch will bring us
the possibility to touch the "brake" early enough to stop
in the wright position.

here the code:

Code: [Select]

tool = GetSelectedTool()

' nothing to do
If GetSelectedTool() = GetCurrentTool() Then
     message("Tool is the same NO tool change needed")
   End
End If
