Manual tool change with Mill Wizard and Mach 4
« on: January 17, 2016, 01:15:29 PM »
How do I get the machine to stop for a manual tool change after using G code generated by Mill Wizard (e.g. for two lines of holes using two tools)

I see now that I use the M6 macro.

Not that simple, I guess.  I put the M6.mcs from the default Mach profile into the Macros directory of the profile I am using, but it looks like it isn't called.  Is there anything else I need to do?

Config menu then General Config, there is an option there to stop spindle and wait for cycle start.

Ah ok never noticed the title but then again why post here rather than the Mach4 section?

I originally thought this was related to Mill Wizard, but now that I realize it's the way Mach 4 handles M6, you're right - I should post it there.
