NICE!!!!!
I especially like the hardware paired auto square, which works like a dream! Opens up the Acorn 4 platform for paired dual motor gantry plus rotary axis. Big plus!!!
The X, Y and Z setting graphics are top shelf. Thanks guys

Hello,
I just got finished configuring 5.18
I noticed that the machine does not move to the G30 return position when calling for an auto measurement (Auto Measure F3) of tool offset.
When I use the batch measure it moves to the fixed TT position, just not when I use Auto Measure. What macro gets kicked off by the auto measure button?
Is there something I am missing?

Try using G30 P3, there was a change a while back where G30 is being utilized for a specific function.
I used G30 for my fixed tool height plate location, changed to G30 P3, works fine.

Yeah, my return positions are set in G30 P3. Just not moving when I use auto measure F3, batch measure F4 moves to G30 P3 position fine.

Auto Measure calls the Macro "tool_offset_auto_measure.cnc" located in the system folder in the cncm directory.

You guys will notice with this version that one of the themes is any sort of canned hard-coded function has now been broken out into a human, readable and editable macro. This approach allows both individual and OEM customization flexibility for any and all CNC12 caned functions that you would typically find in any of the Cnc12 menus. Now they are not locked in and hard-coded. You can edit and tweak them to your liking.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but in Graphing mode set range I was able to set the 'Start', but not able to set the 'End' range.
Graphic preview in Graph looks great BTW.
