    Distance Counter

    Greetings,
    I am a first-time poster here and hoping someone can help me figure this out. I would like to be able to log my total cutting distance (in inches) to determine the rate of wear for the bits I am using. The mill machines in our shop have this type of cumulative counter and I'm not sure if Mach3 would differentiate between the rapid and cutting movements. Does anyone know if Mach3 has this feature and if so where it is and how to use it? I wonder if perhaps I just don't know the right term for it...
    Thanks!
    -JC

    Open Mach3 and select "Operator" on the toolbar and check the maintenance section....it has way too much information
