Tom,
In modifying the application, I notice that when you select a different tool from the drop down, it constructs a TxMx command.  Shouldn't it also use H43 Hx to invoke any defined offsets as well?

 Oops, I meant G43 Hx

Hi EC,

I'm not sure.  Loading a Tool doesn't mean you necessarily want the Tool Length Active.  Also the tool slot T might not equal the Tool number H.  Yo can probably add that functionality into an M6 program.

I see what you are saying.  The Tx command will pull out the tool in position x, but that is not necessarily tool number x in that slot.  I guess the best way to handle it is I will add a check box selecting whether you want the offsets applied when a tool is manually selected from the drop down.

I also add a tool tip that displays the Comment listed in your tool table for the currently selected tool.
