A list of possible macros that could be assigned to switch inputs, much like the lists in the Wizard for VCP AUX Keys. That list could contain the available AUX Keys and mfunc's, so that you're not limited to just AUX Keys 1-16.

While checking out the latest options for Rotary in the wizard of the current beta, I also checked out the parameter 131 options, and was wondering if there was a way of toggling the F1/F6 3/4 axis button in a macro. Sure, you can toggle the presence of the button with G10 P131 R21, but can you actu...

Glad the Reset thing isn't permanent too! Thanks to all for the great work with CNC12! (must be about time for a new number or name )
