Joey, when I assign ArcOK to an input are there any other operations affected?

Update:
All my marking efforts have been largely unsuccessful. The latest attempt with the ArcOK version on the M64 macro didn't work because it didn't activate quick enough.
I'm now thinking of adding a pneumatic spotting drill to the z-axis for marking small holes. I haven't found much information about controlling the drill with CNC12. Any advice would be much appreciated. I can start a new topic or add it to my build topic if that would be better than discussing it here.

The Lazer XY offset could be a good starting point to make a custom macro to start the scribe on an xy offset. The scribe offset feature is coming soon to Acorn Plasma. Can't give a date but it's high on the list for the next features added to plasma

That’s great to hear Joey, I’d love to get the scribe on my ShopSabre working again. I used it a couple of times with the old WinCNC controller before I retrofit it with Acorn. I don’t see myself using it a lot but it would be great to get it working again just in case.
