>> A lot more got put into my question than I expected. ...Probably because a lot of us want this sort of functionality. I for one want to be able to jog and then re-zero the z-axis during a tool change. This would be most useful for those of us with smaller machines who have to manually change our tools.
As far as I can tell, the manual tool change routine is useless unless you can guarantee the length of the tool after the tool change. To the thousands of us using off the shelf wood routers as our spindles, it really complicates things when trying to make complex parts. If I were a better programmer, I'd make the change myself. This, to me is the single thing coming between EMC2 and perfection. >Len ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
