Is it possable to add a new programming command that would act like MH but would move to coordinates that are defined in the user variable file as opposed to (0,0)? I would like to move to a parking spot to make it easier to screw down new blanks but I can see this being useful for people messing with tool holders also. I like the safe Z function of MH over the M2, M3 commands and since I always park at the same spot I would like not to have to remember the coordinates when programming.

You can always setup a custom cut to move the tool to a location. JH is using custom cut #99. You can use it as an example for your on.

Yep...use a custom cut. My C7 goes to 24,12 for tool changing & My C8 goes to X,120 to make changing out 4X8 sheets easier.

Thanks guys. I did not realize that C99 had what I needed (never explored all the custom files) so I will be progamming this morning.
