You are not trying to use M6 before your T0x0x command are you?

I went out and retested my benchtest setup.
I created a short video:


Also attached is the report from my benchtest system. You can press F7 Utilities, F2 Restore report.
(Back up your CNCT director and create a report of your system before you do)

When you start CNC12, you will get a message that it is from another system. Its fine.
You need to re-install your license.

Go in and modify your inputs.
As a general rule, I keep Z home on input1 and X on input 2.

And YES you modify the time between tool positions based on your machine. I only used 2000ms as an example and so you can see the output operate.
No need to use M18, though I suspect you are just using it to test with.

But be sure you are only typing T0X0X (Where x is the tool and offset number) and NOT trying to use M6

OK Marty success
I loaded your report install my pro License And change a few configurations and it work like described. So where do you think the problem lies in my download of v4.5? Thanks again for all you patients. Now you can. Concentrate on your hot rod 😀. I started a project on my s10 a year ago with a LS swap have not completed it yet hopefully soon.


Thanks again
John
