Has, or will this be implemented ?

I am mounting a live tool on a lathe and need the spindle to act as a regular spindle and also a rotary axis.
Which is the easier way ?
I think Mach3 can swap Axis/Spindle ?
Thanks

Thee appears to be some missing posts here.
Could someone please fill in the blanks for me ?
Thanks,

As I remember, the same pins were set as e.g. C axis and step/dir spindle. When the spindle is on then you must not use the C axis and vice versa. With this configuration you can home the spindle as an axis.

OK, thank you.
I will experiment with it.
I really don't need to HOME the axis to a sensor.
I think I can just set it to program 0.000 within the swap macro.
Will need to play with it.
Thanks again,
