Re: Eding USBCNC
I put the z axis last because I wanted to move the x and y axis to the stored point first then bring the z axis down to the stored point for it. As I said before I don't have any programming experience so have I done this wrong or did you mean I should add it to the Sub User_4 program so it looks something like this.
Sub User_4
Sub Move_to_startpoint
G00 Z0
G00 X#1001 Y#1002
G00 Z#1003
Endsub

Re: Eding USBCNC
Best practice would be:
Sub Move_to_start
G00G53 Z0 (machine Z-Refpoint)
G00 X#1001 Y#1002
G00 Z#1003
Endsub
this moves the Z-Axis all the way up first.. (provided that your Z-axis reference point Z=0 is at the highest position of the Z-axis),
G00 G53 Z-10 is also allright.. stays 10 mm lower than the top position..
This way there's no risk of collisions when moving over clamps, parts and vices..
in the Tool measurement Macro the same "trick" is used.. First... all the way up. then above toolsetter, followed by a dialog to enter approximate toollength.. and finally measuring the tool.. calling newly measured lengt, and move to top again.. so work can continue without collisions

Re: Eding USBCNC
I tried this last night in simulation mode away from the machine and it worked perfectly. Thanks very much for all your help guys. Now I just need to sort out changing the user icons for something more suitable than 3 and 4.
Regards

Thanks Arie. I have found the icons and which ones I need to change. I think I have the ideal icons for what I want as well so now need to draw them up and try them out.
