Is there a macro variable that will tell me what tool diam offset was last called (even if it may not be active) ?
I see TN will tell me the number of the tool in the spindle, but what about the last "D" word that was called ?
Any help ?

There is no memory register for the passed usage of the "D" word, so it can not be referrenced.

Neal,
Thank you for you info as always. Greatly appreciated.
I'll just have to rely on passing an additional another R - word to the subprogram.
If call P8901 as follows, will the R-words pass through?
R1+.350 R2+13. R3+.497 R4+.502 R5+3.5 R6+2600.
M98 P8901 L1

Once a parametric word (R) is established it remains modal until a new value is assigned to it.
