pls check, if there is a file like this   C:\Mach3\Plugins\NcEther-8ts.m1s ?
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

ok, it is a dll, and we are not able to "see" the macro code.
only thing what's left is to use a "selfmade" M6Start macro for the ATC.

is an example i posted some years ao.

G54 sets the X Y & Z coordinates to your reference tool. One of the pieces of data you enter for each tool is the LENGTH.What is happening as you change tools the Ddiplay value for Z will change to reflect the currently called out tool. So - if for your reference tool - the Z position at a certain height of the machine is 3", then is you change to a tool that is an inch shorter and have an M6 T?? line matching the new tool, the Z value would read 4 reflecting the current position of the now active tool.
