The default M6Start macro is this:

tool = GetSelectedTool()
SetCurrentTool( tool )

If you want to move to machine zero, change it to this:

tool = GetSelectedTool()
SetCurrentTool( tool )
Code "G53 G0 Z0"
While IsMoving
Wend
Code "G53 G0 X0 Y0"
While IsMoving
Wend


Make sure that Z zero in machine coordinates is the top of your travel, or at least some distance up that is safe to move at.

Hi TP,
 Think that DRO is for the actual offset value, what is wanted is the number of the offset called e.g. G43H2

 AHHHH,   I thought they wanted the offset VALUE. Unless you have photographic memory the H# won't be of much value, normally it just replicates the installed tool#.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Yes but you can call a different offset for a chosen tool number.
In Mill its not something I would use or feel a need for but in Turn it is definitely something that was needed.
But its not me that was wanting it and I can see it may be useful to others, "learn" certainly seems to want it.
