I've got my new Mach controlled lathe up and running and its working well and thanks for the help from forum members here to get it running.
I've got a nice set of canned macros I wrote for a different lathe that I want to get running on this one.
Unfortunately the tool change format Mach uses for lathes, ie, "T0202 M6" is different than the other lathe.
The macros depend on being able to set a parameter to do the tool change, ie
#101=10
and then accessing that parameter in a subroutine that makes the tool change to tool 10.
So far efforts to execute something like:
T#101#101
aren't working.
Is there any way I'll be able to do a lathe tool change in a subroutine based on a parameter setting?
Thanks,
Paul T.
