    Tool change Location

    Hi Listers
    How do I change the tool change location. I have hunted everywhere in the dropdown menus for an area to put in different values. If I change the values under settings they change but immediately revert to the origonal settings when I move the mouse to the next item (hitting the enter key dosen't help)
    Any help appreciated.

    Best regards
    Peter Williams

    I believe you need to modify it in the m6 macro....with the vb script editor

    Either that or put the location in your g-code.

    Thankls for the replies guys.

    From further testing and testing on another machine with a different machine config file I think I have a corrupt config file (Mach3Mill.xml).
    I will let you know.

    Brain from Artsoft helped me out.
    It seems I had enter set as the Code Scan under Config / System Hot keys...
    I changed this to something other then enter and all is now well again!

    Thanks for the comments guys..

    Best regards

    I don't think either of us actually understood the question. The real question was not how to change your tool change location. It was "why won't the DRO's stay changed?" Glad Brian helped you, I don't think I would have been able to figure that one out.
