Hi,

I created a new profile and noticed the machine doesn't respond to M6 command because the Macros folder was empty. So my question is if I copy and paste the macro files from the original Mach4Mill\Macros folder into my newly created profiles Macros folder, will them work?

If the one you want to use worked then yes just copy it.

Thanks Bill.

I just need manual tool change so I'll take the M6 for sure but 162 and 163 seems like they are for dual spindle machines. My machine is just a 3 axis milling machine. Do I still need these?

M162   RIGHT SPINDLE WINDING CHANGE HIGH SPEED
M163   RIGHT SPINDLE FORWARD & UPPER COOLANT ON

You should only need the ones you will use.
Having said that the extras will not hurt if you never call it.

I don't know why but it just doesn't work. Is there anything to be done other than copying the files?

I found the solution here https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=30236.10 and it is very odd. If you disable LUA plugin then Mach4 doesn't include or read macro files at startup. Enabling it solved the problem.

You should only copy the .MCS files to the directory then mach4 will then recompile them.
