I believe that this would be possible for EMC2 too, it would even be possible to add an auto-measure (for length at least) to the manual toolchanger, I think. (Or to any other toolchanger routine). ie, before any toolchange the machine drives to the safe position (already part of EMC2), then when the operator changes the tool and presses "OK" the machine drives to a fixed position (G53) and probes the tool length, before returning to the "safe" position and resuming the job. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
