I'm either missing something fundamental that is different to the way Mach4 works over Mach3, or there is something wrong.
I have all my tools in dedicated holders with my Tool1 my Haimer 3D dial gauge. All have their respective lengths loaded into the tool table.
Now to set up a job, I use a Haimer 3D dial gauge to indicate my parts to set up a G54 position. X,Y,Z....zero the DRO out in Mach3 and then load program and run. All's good. All tool H offsets are taken into account just as you would expect.
In Mach4 the exact same offsets have been set up in the tool table. So then I go and indicate off the part and zero out the DRO's with tool #1.
But when I run the program Mach4 seems to ignore the tool H even though it is displayed as the active tool. So far the program just wants to cut air at what seems some arbitrary height.
With further reading and checking, if I indicate off something and zero out the DRO, and then switch tool number, the ofsets do not update as the manual says they should and as they do in Mach3.
I've done some searching, but all I can find is help using a probe, or setting up a fixture. I want to use G54 for the quick one off jobs.
Any help getting this worked out iis greatly appreciated.
