    Dependant on the controller and if the tool change macro is available for modifiction if it s its easy to change
    If not you may have to adjust the rapid parameter for the machine

    Why waste time by feed motion to the reference position. If it is lathe, first home X. If a milling machine, first Z. These are safe motions. Can be at rapid rate.

    There is a reason why i wanna feed my machine to secondary reference position, i specified G30 not G28.

    Tool change macro is available for modifications, i can put all the coordinated inside the macro but there is a parameter which doesn't allow tools to be unclamped/clamped if the machine is not in some of the reference positions, i wanna keep this option ON, i can put the same coordinates inside the problem but i would rather get the directly from parameter 1240.

    Parameter 1241 is the value for G30, if set to 0 then it will go to the same place as G28.

    #100=PRM[1241]/[1] is what i'm after.

    It would work on model D, but not on earlier models where PRM is not defined.
