If you change Tool 1 then you could touch-off the new Tool1 into the tool table, and that would leave New Tool1 1 with an offset relative to Old Tool1, and all the other tools will have offsets relative to Old Tool 1. So things will still work. The advantage of Tool 1 being a zero-offset tool is just that it is easier to tell when something has gone wrong (like touching off into T rather than G54 with tool1 loaded) This is probably one of those situations where you need to understand what the work and tool offsets are, and then work out how you want to use them. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
