Inhibit "Out of Plane" messages during tool positi

We have the same situation as mentioned in this post:

http://cgtech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=789

There is a need for a macro to disable the "Not in Turning Plane" message while simply orienting the tool. 

In the control, when tool orientation is required, something like this could be implemented:

disable message
initiate rotary orientation motion
enable message "After Motion"

If there is already a means to accomplished this, please let us know. 

Thank you,

Jerry

P.S.  I had the thought of temporarily unloading the tool, orienting the tool, then reloading the tool.  This might get rid of the message but it would eliminate the chance to catch legitimate collisions which could take place during the orientation motion.  No joy.

Gerry,

in 6.0 the logic was changed to only report "out of plane" errors when the tool is the part area. This got rid the false errors reported.
