Overtravel alarm during tool change.

During a tool change, our machine travels outside its normal range in X.

Is there a way to loose the over travel alarm for this movement only, without turning the alarm off. lol

Cheers.

Re: Overtravel alarm during tool change.

Yes!

See Vericut Macros:

TravelLimitGroup
TurnOnOffCompTravelLimits
TurnOnOffSubsystemTravelLimits
TurnOnOffTravelLimits

TurnOnOffCompTravelLimits can be used to turn off travel limits for the X component during a tool change and turn them back on after the tool change is complete.

I use TurnOnOffTravelLimits for some of our machine simulations ... performs very well.
