Re: Tool Change Macro Help
You can use any tool to set your WCS Z0 as long as you ALSO have that tool's height offset active as well. If you just load the tool and not the offset, or you don't load the tool at all, then your part offset will be wrong.

Re: CSR on acorn 5.1
You can select the direction for the measurement points, but the rotation symbol will always appear on the X DRO.

Re: New Build LMS 3990 Hi Torque Mini Mill
If you are already doing manual tool changes, post each tool path as a separate file. Then, just do the tool change before running the file.

Re: V5.1 Lathe distance to go isn't working
Distance to go shows that amount of movement remaining in the current G-code line. It does not show the amount of material to be removed from the part.

Re: Issue with outside frame milling
Do you have cutter comp turned on in the wrong direction? Posting your Intercon file would let us see.

Re: Enable outputs on Acorn
If you disable drives on an Acorn, you will have to re-home everytime you re-enable the drives. Acorn is an open-loop system.

Some in the past have used fiber optic light guides to reposition the heartbeat.
