im running vericut on a new project and have never had this issue before, but basically i set the toolchange position under control settings, but when vericut hits the m06, it just changes the tool where the old tool was at, i cannot figure out why. any ideas?

How You define the coordinates for this tool change position ?

Assuming VERICUT version 8.0
Tool changes can be controlled by
1. Subroutine
2. Control Settings only
3. Tables and Control Settings
4. Control configuration
To use #2 above select the Machine/Control tab and Control Settings, Tooling tab
Look at the Tool Change Retract Method, your choices are
A. No Retract
B. Retract (Z-Axis only)
C. Retract All Axes
D. Retract Tool Side Axes
If you want to use the last selection
E. Use Retraction Table
You need to build 2 tables. Select the Machine/Control tab, Machine Settings, Locations tab, Highlight Machine Locations, in the Location Name pull-down select Tool Change Location, Add, in the Values field edit in the XYZABCUVW values separated by spaces where you want the machine to go for a tool change, Apply
Next add a Tool Change Retraction table. The values for this table will be ones and zeros separated by spaces. A one means retract this axis and zero means do not retract. For example...
1 0 1
would mean retract X and Z only during a tool change.
