This is probably something i have set up wrong but can't figure it out. when i run a program the machine goes to the tool change position and then an error window pops up.
i select OK then the next one pops up.
I hit OK and then have to hit the RESET button. after that everything works fine.

Any ideas what i don't have set correctly? Below is first few lines of G Code also.

(TOOL - 3 OFFSET - 3)
(LATHE TOOL 1 INSERT - TNMG-321)
N110 G28 U0. W0.
N120 G50 X2. Z1.5
N130 G0 T0303
N140 G97 S3600 M03


thanks for any help.

MSM is looking for the scripts that the user has to supply for Auto tool Change mode but not finding them.
I bet you do not have mach set to the tool change mode you want.

Go to the mach menus, config, general config.
Look in the upper left area of the dialog - I bet you have mach set to "Auto Tool Changer" when what you probably want is "Stop Spindle, Wait for Cycle Start".
Save the new setting. shut down mach (to get the change saved to the Mach profile XMl file).
Restart and you should now get the stop&Wait mode for tool changes.

Bingo, changed it just like you said and everything works fine. Amazing what 1 little check box can do.
thanks for your quick response.
