Newbi! Most of the posts re M6 are about complex tool changes I just want a simple move. When it hits M6 I want it to move to G00 X-4 Y-4 so I can change the tool , then I will jog Z down to the new zero reference, because the new tool length is different, then I can jog Z up to clear stock and press start. I think it will go back and run the finish path gcode?
?My Gcode comes from visual mill
All the talk about edit M6start and M6end??? The only place I can find those files is in the "Macros" subfolder but they are M6.m1s type files and they don't even open with notepad etc.
Where do I find the M6 macro?
Can I edit it and do what I want? Where do I save the new macro so the program will jump to the macro when it sees M6??
I'm sure many folks have already done this, its so simple but I can't find it
Thank you in advance
