Thanks Les, I tried that file, it loads up with nothing at all in the before or after boxes, If i search the file itself using WordPad I can see the code you entered in the box. My setup is a little odd... Mac Laptop running Parallels virtual system with XP Pro running in it. I am using SheetCam wit...

I can take the pressure off a little,

I have just changed my Mach3 Screen-set and it has all the needed tool change stuff built in as macros' so I don't need the Sheetcam features at present.

Would be good to know what the problem is though ;)

Start up,
load a job,
add say X tool change position,
save job
close job

tool change is maintained

re-open the same job and tool change is back to default (off)

seems the tool change is NOT being saved with the job and so it gets reset each time the job is loaded???

file attached

Ok, let's break this down. Start SheetCam and set something in the tool change. Close SheetCam (don't save the job when it asks) and restart it. Are your tool change settings still there? --Yes that worked Now load a previously saved job without the tool change code. You should now have nothing in t...

Manual Tool Changing...

I have set sheetcam to park the tool at Y0, X150 which brings it nicely to the front and centre of my mini-mill. Mach3 seems to lock the axes when tool-changing so how to handle the Z axis ? When parked for tool-change the Z is at my rapid height of 20mm above the material, but it looks like the par...

+1, slow down is all you can do, 50% is about the limit any makes no difference. Turn off THC before though - will need a path rule for this unless you have a THC that has a voltage based anti-dive feature.

FYI If you change a running setup from a standard one to a split profile one make sure you replace the NEW Default Tools file with your normal one - the copy of default tools that is created when using profiles for the first time is NOT the one you were using before, especially on plasma I found it ...

Thanks Les,

No i have not downgraded, it started when i switched from running as a single app to running as a split profile setup - mill & plasma

Re-installing has fixed the issue.

The internet mentioned a 3d path viewer - does that exist or was it older version??


thanks
