Maybe this can be done and I just don't know it.  I like the tool returning to a specific location for tool changes.  I have added in my post processor a location of X0 Y0 Z2.  Could Mach3 do this for me?  Is there some way that I could have a script or option to have it return to a user specific location on tool changes?

Hi Richard:

  Yes, in the M6Start.m1s macro, put the following..

code"G53Z0"
code"G32*********Yyy"

  Set eh Z and x,y location to whatever you like. At M6 time , it will execute those macro calls and move to that location..

Sorry mistype:

  That shoudl be G53, not G32..

 G53 is the move to a machine location, so determine the machine  coordinate location you wish to use and replace the xx and yy and the Z location in the example to what you wish to use..

Thanks,
