Steve - got it. I added the screen set yesterday. Did not get a chance to test the tool change. Will do it next week.

Check in V-carve to see that your safe Z is set. Also, the home position should be set to above the piece. Typically I set up the top of the piece to define my z=0. That keeps me from messing up.

Bob -  is the wxMach screen set editable by end users? If you use it for the sample profile I don't know if I can even see the scripts or any of the other 'good stuff' you do behind the scenes so I can use it in my profiles.

The autotool was removed from the main screens in favour of using the probing section, ive just checked and the measure z is working.

Daz - can you give a step by step on how to get this to work? I can get G31 to work but have never been able to get the Z measure to work. I have the touch plate and it is working according to the machine diagnostics LEDs. I suspect I have something wrong in the set up page but I can't think of what that would be.

This would make my life much easier!
Thanks,
Peter

I have not been able to make it work. Don't think it is working yet.

Daz - did you get a chance to look at the DRO changing color when the axis is selected on the new version of M4.

I can highly recommend PMDX. They have outstanding after sale support.

Daz,

I got everything downloaded and followed your instructions. I tried setting the shuttlepro buttons to MPG1 Select X - MPG1 Select Y - MPG1 Select Z but nothing moved. I set the buttons to Jog/MPG1 select X - etc and the axis moved. I don't get the DRO color change with this. I looked at the code but could not figure out where to change it. I have it toward the end of the PLC script.

I am on 2797 if this makes a difference.

Thanks,
Peter

Found it ftp://machsupport.com/Mach4/DevlopmentVersions/

I did not know these existed.

Thanks,

Daz - I did a search for MPG on the site and did not find the wizard. Is there anywhere else I should be looking?

Thanks
