![]() The alternative option for controllers that do not understand T1 commands is to include a 'macro' file of Gcode commands that achieve the tool change for you. The tool commands can include a '%s' string: this is where the tool offset is inserted. For example, for GRBL you can set the tool offset with this line: G38.1 Z%sAnd example toolchange script might look like (toolchange) G28 (go to predefined position) M0 (pause for tool change) G38.1 Z%s (set the tool offset, %s will be replaced by the offset set for this tool) (toolchange end) Activate this toolbar by ticking the View|Toolbars|SketchUcam Quick Tools item.
