Hi guys,

I don't know why UCCNC save workoffsets to profile only when closing the app. I would like to save them immediately when I hit zero axis. Can not think a reason, why to do that when closing window. It is pointless at that time.
One example for all. When the computer losses power, the machine is stopped. You start the computer, start the UCCNC and your workoffset is gone. Good luck with finding the datum again. If it is saved immediately, you just home the machine and continue working.

I already did this with my M6 macro. When the macro set the new tool number, I immediately save it in my profile too. In my eyes, the app should do that defaulty.

Cheers,
Martin

Could you post your macro so that you can study it? Thanks in advance.

at the start of my code in post processor i added a simple macro call which saves all offsets before the code is run. this way any updated positions of z zero etc are saved for that code file run.
it has worked really well over the last 5 years and i can always re start from known offsets etc.

That sounds perfect.
Will you be so kind, and share that post process addition, please?

in your macros folder.. add a macro with the following in it.
mine was originally set as m12 (an unused macro number)
add m12 to your post processor at the start of the code output. (header)

just 2 lines for the macro.

exec.Callbutton(527);
exec.Callbutton(218);
