You have to create the macro.  The custom macro button calls the macro.

Hi,

create a macro e.g.  m1234.m1s

in your profile macro folder e.g.   C:\Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill

config plug in ( see image )

the macro may look like this

Call Code("G0 Z1")
While ismoving()
Sleep 100
Wend

be careful
when you hit the button the Z axis is going to Z0 with rapid traverse
the same when you code m1234 in MDI or within your G code.
The Z0 position depends on your coordinate system setting
( G54 G55 G56 ....  G53 G52 G92 )

the safest choice is to use a fix position in G53 ( machine coordinates )

just a thought

Hi Millguy,

try calling custom macro#1  in MDI line and see if it is working.

Maybe your macro is not in the right folder.
