When you say it isn't good to change SA96, apart from not restoring the correct value before a tool change are there any other issues your aware of? I have a fanuc variant that works well that also works by changing the orient value. It has the original value hard coded into the macro to always reset the value if an angle is not commanded.
I'm really just looking for a proven macro, or at least making sure this hasn't been tried and a real problem found.
