thank you it's not on ignore tool change, on auto you say custom M6 MARCO that's more to the point, but i'm thinking how ?

To write a custom macro you need to know how to program in Visual basic and the commands and functions that mach3 uses. Also whoever writes it will need to know your system setup regards Inputs and Outputs and type of ATC your using.

If you are new to Mach3 and not into programming, then it's something you'll probably need a lot of help with or be prepared for a massive learning curve and a few machine crashes.!

Or if you can find someone who as a similar setup and is prepared to share their M6 macro with you it would save a lot of time. You would still most likely need to modify it to suit your setup regards I/O etc because often with retrofits no two machines are the same, but it would save you lots of time and effort.

If you can't find anyone willing to share then I'm happy to help you and can write an M6 macro but I need to know more about the machine and setup. It will also need a lot of testing and tweaking before you try to make parts with it so it won't be a quick thing to do.

Post some pictures of the ATC.

Also attach the XML file for your mach3 profile and I'll take a look. If the system say's cannot use that file type just rename it with .txt on the end.

If you want to throw it in the car and bring to me in Goole I'll take a look for you and get it going. You'll obviously need to leave it with me but I'm more than happy to do it.
