or put it on two lines so the z moves first.

Thank you Keith got it set up and working, Let me ask you this. I set it up in the CNCT directory and is working fine. Since I also have my little mill set up using M55 & M56 with the same function are they 2 separate directories for CNC12 mill and CNC12 lathe functions? I noticed the mill Mfunc55 is in the cncm directory. When I go back to the mill will it still work for the mill?

2nd Q on that, I would also like to add a 0X and 0Z with separate buttons, but there is no M56 button on the VCP like there is in CNC12 Mill. Would that mean only way to add those would be to customize the VCP OR can I just quickly add 2 more buttons?

Also another question is, I went to set up my MPG with macro buttons but I do not see any (MPGMacro1 2 3 or 4 files in cnct like the pop up suggests in CNC12 for location? I also Looked for the MPG manual in (all docs here on the forum) do not see an actual manual for the MPG is there one? Only doc is the 3 page set up guide.

WIZARD >> MPG Tab >> Edit Macros

Or copy and paste the desired macro text into C:\cncm(rt)\system\plcmacro (1 thru 4)
