I have to run the exact same operation with just one tool 50 times. Essentially, I’m etching a logo on the back of several discs, one by one. No change is position, height etc.
Every time I start the next op, CM requires measurement of the same tool again.
How can I repeat cuts without it asking for a tool change every time?
Many thanks,
Gunter
Temporarily disable the BitSetter — many of our customers do this for production work.
Thanks Will, in CM is this where I do that:

It’s the reverse of enabling it, see:
Sorry I should have mentioned I’m on a Nomad 3.

The only way to do this on a Nomad is to use a 3rd party communication/control program. The usual suspects are bCNC, CNCjs, Universal G-code Sender, &c., but they’re all unsupported.
Couldn’t he just delete the toolchange line from the G-Code? (T102M6)
Yes, but we don’t support editing the G-code either, but you’re right, that’s probably an easier fix.
Thank you Tod, just tried that and it works brilliantly

This should be considered as an option within CM. It already does it within a job, and is aware of all tool changes made outside a job.
So it could prompt and say, for example, “Replace installed 102 with a new 102?” and ignore the change tool command appropriately.
