Hi
I'm new in cnc.
I made ​​a drawing with Bobcad I converted to gcode. i put code on Mach3 for lathe.
My problem is when I call t0101 in my code the  tools go to 0 and after my code executes , the tools hit my live center !
do you have idee what i'm doing wrong.
thank you
Alain

What do you mean by "the tools go to zero"? Are you meaning the axis moves or something else?
Hood

yes the axis move.
when i insert t0101 the axis move to 0 on DRO and hit live center.
thank you

The axis should not move unless you have something in your M6Start.m1s macro to make it do so or your code is telling it to move..
When you call a tool all that should happen is the DROs change to reflect any offsets for that tool that you have set up in the tool table.
If you call a tool from MDI line does the axis move?

i restart pc and i put t0101 in mdi and click cycle start and axis move
sorry for my englsh

Ok if you are meaning the axis physically moves then your m6start macro must have something in it to tell it to do so. Go to the Operator menu then Edit VB Script. A window will pop up and if you choose open you can browse to your lathes macro folder and you will see m6start.m1s, open it and see whats in there and copy and paste it here.

script
tool = GetSelectedTool()
  SetCurrentTool( tool )
