Change Tool & re-zero Z axis during a job

[Sword]

Your M6 macro is named "mfunc6.mac.mac", rename it to just mfunc6.mac. You have a double Mac & cheese.

Something else that may cause you problems down the road, I see in your report, that you are using a laptop and that the CPU is way out of spec with a Single Thread Rating of 789. It will likely choke the first time you throw a file at it that is anything more than straight line motion. Try running a v-carve or 3D relief file and I'd be surprised if it doesn't start stuttering.

Thank you VERY much Scott, that's what it was. I was dropped on my head (true) when I was a baby so that's made me a few Kangaroos short in the top paddock. That excuse has been VERY handy for the past 67yrs so hopefully it will suffice this time as well.
Is there anyway the "Input" 0,1 or 2 can be put in through the MPG? My computer is in the next room so I have to keep running back & forward.
I have attached a picture of my desktop computers specs.
Once again thank you very much for all your help.

"Kangaroos short in the top paddock"

I don't know of a way to enter a value with the MPG, other than being able to hit Cycle Start. Perhaps one of the PLC guru's can answer whether or not that can be done. Perhaps a second monitor/keyboard at the machine would be good. I like and have had good luck with the Logitech K400r/K400 wireless keyboards.
