Dave,
That program runs great as long as I skip line 6 with it I get a parameter
error. Do you think 5023 is a parameter to enter active tool z value? that
param must be different on my control. I'll look into it.

This is what I use. You must have macro B turned on in your machine.
Program starts at tool #1
O1999
(TOOL-SETTING PROGRAM)
N1#100=1(SET #100 EQUAL TO FIRST TOOL)
N2DO1(BEGINNING OF LOOP)
N3T[#100](SELECT TOOL)
N4M6(TOOL CHANGE)
N5M0(SET TOOL OFF Z0)
N6#[2000+#100]=#[5023](MACHINE Z0 INTO OFFSET)
N7G0G91G28Z0(RAPID TO Z AXIS ZERO RETURN)
N8#100=#100+1(INCREMENT TO NEXT TOOL)

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Fanuc tool change
everyone,
I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on the best way to automatically
change a predefined number of tools for entering tool length offsets into a
Fanuc 18-m. Our control doesn't seem to have this option. We run allot of
short runs and using MDI to type tool number +M6 up to 30 times is a waste.
It also would be nice to store the Z value at the same time. This should be
a simple command, right? By the way I know this isn't a SC question but I
know you guys\gals can help me out.
