FYI for all of you Fanuc Macro programmers out there: The Fanuc OM controls
do NOT use Macro B. They have a different (not as robust) macro version.
Having said this, I don't recall what exactly it IS called, but I know
macros written in Macro B will not work on an OM control. It's quite
possible that the G10 command will work for updating an offset from within
a program. The fanuc operators manual for the OM control will list all of
the various macro codes and their functions.

Micheal:
Yes, I believe there is. You will need to see if you can read and write to
variable #2002.
The tool length offset is #2001, or H1, and the diameter, or radius ofset
is
#2002 or D2.
I have not used a 0M for some years, and the variable numbers may be
different. It works on a Fanuc 16. I am not sure if you need to have macro
B
turned on or if it works without an option.
A macro statement like this may work:
#2002=.500(SET INITIAL SIZE)
#2002=[#2002+.003]( A VALUE IS CHANGED IN THE CODE)
G1G41D2(TURN ON CUTTER COMP)
You might also check out http://www.programmingunlimited.com there are some
good macro examples there for many different controls.
Enjoy!
