Gerry,

Thanks so much for the reply. I had a "G53 G00 A" & APos in the sub at the bottom but it seemed it was not working so I deleted it. Turns out it was working but for some reason It was going at a default feed that was so slow it did not have enough torque to turn. I put it back with a G00 in front of the A and it worked great. I also added a G90 before the G53 in the first move and that fixed the incremental Y problem. I find that one confusing?

The interesting and frustrating thing is that it all works in a G code program but not from the MDI? If I type a m6 tX into the MDI it dose nothing and I loose keyboard and MPG jog? I can still move with G code commands in the MDI but no tool change. I have to shut down and restart Mach to get jog back.

Thanks again for the help,

Jeff
