Hi, I apologize for the question, probably already asked, I am a beginner with this software and I ask for your help. I would like to have a macro that at the request of a tool change would perform a reset in the probe and start the machining again. Let me explain, I already have a tool path, at the request of the tool change I change it manually, after changing it I would like to reset it in a fixed probe (programming the coordinates of the fixed probe) update the z coordinate and then restart the machining with the new tool at the right altitude so as not to lose the work done up to that moment. It's possible? I thank those who will help me and I will be very grateful.

Hello, Livinico.
You can write a M6 macro that will measure the new tool and make a new offset along the Z axis.
I apply the simplest example that will work with a tool sensor in the form of a plate put under the cutter. I added a bunch of explanations into the code, so I hope you will simply adapt it to your machine.
Also in the program settings, you need to select the reaction to the M6 ​​command how to "execute the M6 ​​script.

Hello fixebr, thank you very much for your sharing, I will try to interpret your writings and modify them according to my machine so that I can adapt it to the needs. I hope I can get this new machine running smoothly. Forgive me, but I would like to do many things, but I don't have the right knowledge in this controller yet. Thanks again for now.
Regards
