Missing Start Command - due to tool selection

[John Murray]

My PRS Alpha is a work horse in my shop. Been running like a champ for years. Today I ran into a problem where the MSGBOX prompts are not coming up and the program begins to run with out the spindle starting. It is related to my tool choice because if I change tools the software runs correctly. I recently rearranged (renamed and renumbered) some tools in the Tool Database. Somewhere I have tossed a wrench in the works.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

Sorry, found my answer in a previous post. It appears that there is a maximum Tool Number of 19 in Z Head. When I changed the number to 19 it worked fine. I will need to rethink my re numbering.
