How do I change the Tool Number in CNC12 after i put a tool in the Spindle manually?
i get asked for this a lot so, we created a easy peasy VCP button
you can install it on your machine now if you are running CNC12 v5.08
- the VCP button folder "set_tool_numer.zip" file attached. copy to cncm\resources\vcp\buttons and unzip.
- "set_tool_number.cnc" macro is attached. copy to cncm\system folder
- edit your VCP skin, paste this line with the rest of the buttons
<button row="6" column="1">set_tool_number</button>
edit the row and column numbers to place it where you want.
this is for NON ATC machines. This is for Manual tool change machines.
For upcoming CNC12 v5.1 it will become one of the optional centroid provided VCP buttons

Cool,
I have made one for the lathe with driving to a X-position from user input.
