If you know of a way to do this in one cut file please let me know.
You could edit the files together if it's for a production run - that's what I did before I figured out how to do it from Fusion, but it wasn't worth the time for one-off jobs.
There is a lot of things that I REALLY like about V-Carve Pro, vs. Fusion, but how V-Carve handles WCS isn't one of them.
Thanks Clint, and right now everything I do is a one off job. I'm just going to not worry about it for now and just run a separate file for the profile cut out tool paths. That's one of the things I like about Vcarve is its super fast to make a tool path. Maybe once I've been using the software for a few I'll figure out what Gary was talking about.
BTW thank you very much for the macro, it works great and now I have a better understanding of how everything works.

I was able to combine both macros into one.
Option 0; skips setting Z0 - uses current Z0
Option 1; Jog to the movable touch plate, set Z0, move to fixed TT1 record offset to #159, move back to tool change position.
Option 2; Automatically move to fixed TT1 and set new tool's Z0 using #159 offset, move back to tool change position.
mfunc6_all_in_one.mac Save as : c:\cncm\mfunc6.mac
Hi
I like using your macro ,the all in one
So recently I got a CWP-4 Pendent Wireless from Centroid.
I set it up per their instructions, and it works.
Except for this macro , I get all the way to jog over movable touch plate (option #1), when I start jogging with the new pendent it jumps to the m6 line in the g code.
I lose the cycle start prompt, to start the prob.
I really like the pendent, I was using the X box 360 and it worked fine. I really like the allinone mfunc6 macro too.
Any thoughts
Todd

Has anyone looked at what this M6 Macro will need for CNC12 4.14?

If I had a sneak peek at V4.14 I would.

So, did it work properly for you before the pendant? I have no idea why it would do that...

Hi
It worked grate before the pendent.
I got it to work after I posted , I had to change the Z direction during probing.
I only used it one time after I got it to work on a job. So fingers crossed
I doin't know if when you activate the pendent in the wizard if it changes some parameters or not.
I think some of it was me lol.
Thanks

Can someone please verify that cbb's macro works with 12.4.14? I like to keep up to date on the new releases, but his M6 macro works too well to abandon.
Thanks in advance

Nice, I've been holding off on the update until the macro was working on 4.14 . Any one else have it up and running?
