    setting tool new height

    If I replace a worn tool, and then touch off the tool setter. Pathpilot updates the tool library for that tool, but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I run a program using the tool with the new tool height. I usually need to manually change Z height in the program. What am I doing wrong.

    Make sure you are using G43 H# in your program, if you’re missing G43 H#,
    PathPilot won’t apply the height offset, and your tool will cut at the wrong Z height.
