Using G52 to do step and repeat

[sixmile]

I wrote some C# code to take any of my production GCode files and use G52 to step and repeat the pattern.  This way I do not have to re-cam my production patterns if I choose to do a smaller or larger run.

Anyways, I look at the output code in NCPlot, it shows the rapids going to the new step and repeat sections, but does not show it running the file at teh new location.

Here is some GCode:

SOme SIms do not "show" the G52 offsetting AND as each set of code has the SAME gcode points it appears to only be one path when actually it WILL cut all of them.

Look at it in MACH and you should see 2 columns of a vertical stack of 3 rectangles

It that waht it is suppose to look like?

Yep thats - it, thanks.  I will look at it in mach.
