Hi all,

I´d like to do a tool-change during my programm, but it doesn´t work. Any help would be great. I use the current version of Mach3

Workpiece height is set to +151mm; Tool-length for #4 is set to -229mm; Tool-length for #9 is set to -192mm

From my point of knowledge the following programm should place tool #9 on the surface of the workpiece, ask for tool #4 and place than tool #4 on the surface of the piece.

It doesn´t work, I have tried to switch tool-offsets on and off, etc.
Can anybody give me help please?
