Touch off from tool in tool table using AXIS was created by Peter_Cassar
I can't seem to figure out how to get the tool table tools into the AXIS touch off drop down. Reading the manual on touching off indicates that I should be able to select tools from the tool table in the drop down (v2.5.1). I have a tool table file and all that.
I can't seem to find the way to do this.

What is the very bottom option in the drop-down list?
(It _should_ be T for tool, and allows you to touch-off (only) the current tool. )

OK I found it. Basically you do need to issue a Tx M6 command in the MDI before the Tool Table entry appears in the touch off drop down. Thanks for the reply.
