I need to have the M6 command in MachTurn modified.  I need it to do a G53 G00 Z-0.200, then G4 P3 as part of the tool change.  In the list of Macros i Mach I see M6Start, M6Startnew  and M6End.  Any suggestion on which macro MachTurn uses for the tool change and what the code needs to look like to add my commands?

Thanks.

Vince

M6Start is the only one used in Turn.

Not the best at VB but think the commands would look like

Code ("G53G0Z-0.2")

Code ("G4P3")

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I typed in:

  Code ("G53 GOO Z-0.200")
  Code ("G4 P3")   
  tool = GetSelectedTool()
  SetCurrentTool( tool )

And received the error: Unkown word where unary operation could be

I guess I will have to have one of these code experts tell me where I went wrong.

You have GOO instead of G00

Oops.  I changed it to G00 and it works in simulation.  Now I will have to go load it into the machine.

Thanks

Guess how I saw that so quick

Is it how you used to spell your name a long time ago....H00D?
