VMC ATC is down awaiting a motor repair. In the interim, I want to hand-load tools into the spindle and run the individual operations. Sure, I can simply take the M6's out of the program(s) and replace them with M00's to stop and change and then just use the correct corresponding H offset regardless of what the machine THINKS and displays is in the spindle. The issue comes in for measuring tools. Without telling it exactly what tool number is in the spindle, I can only use the T1 (current tool) register to measure each tool and then hand put the number into the corresponding offset. The OM control on 2 of our other verticals is a breeze- change the 00 t-register to whatever I put in the spindle. I'll be damned if I can find where in/on the 18i to manually change the spindle tool number.
