I'm sure that my question has been answered before but I can't find it with the search tools. I apologize in advance.

I have hand generated some Gcode to do 3D milling of a strange shape. It takes a while to run so I would like to display progress in the Status line. The ideal would be something like "( depth = #99)" where the #99 variable contains the current pass depth. This doesn't work because the "#99" is not parsed within a comment. I am aware of suggestions such as Display a variable on the status line However, is there any easy way to display the current value stored in a variable?

I suppose that it is bad style to answer your own question but... If you choose Operator ==> GCode Var Monitor you can do what I need. My excuse for not knowing is that I have a Tormach and they've deleted that menu choice from their customized version of Mach! Any knowledge of problems that result from using the GCode Var Monitor menu choice?

Are you allowed access to the macropump in the Tormach system ??
