I don't recall the actual problem using the MDI_COMMAND but one button is G10 L11 P#5400 Z0.0 then the second is G43. Just testing in 2.5.4 and G10 L11 P#5400 Z0.0 G43 seems to work in the MDI tab... The touch off to material is G10 L20 P1 Z0.375 because I use a 3/8" dowel to touch off with. J

I can't even guess how many times I have touched off a tool when I meant to touch off the coordinates, or more often, the converse, in Axis. I have never made this mistake in Touchy. Because Touchy has two different buttons. I don't speak TCL, but is it too late / too hard to split the button? I th
