Brian is having the web site re-worked, and he is  trying to find a way I can update just the wizard installer.

I have attached an exe file to this message. If you download it, unzip it and put the NFS-mill.exe file into the program files folder to replace the current one it ought to work.

If for some reason this fails, just re-run the release installer, it will put everything back.

Sorry I dont have a better way to do this yet. We will, but its going to be a couple weeks. I am leaving today for Cabin Fever and NAMES shows, not back until April 23. I will be following mail and this forum, but will not have access to the dev machine. Brian and the rest of the Mach crew will be leaving tomorrow for Cabin Fever.

Seminar starts at 10:00 with a CamBam session. Brian is on at 1:00, until he runs down, then if its not Saturday Ill do a bit on the wizards.

We will also run a couple shorter seminars on Saturday, schedule TBD

That is a bug in the toolpath display, the gcode will be correct. The toolpath is the same code as used in the mach4 product, and it will get fixed before Mach4 is released.

I could add a DRO for a pitch input and make the logic look for either TPI or Pitch, whichever was non-zero, and give an error message if both had non-zero values. I would have to put pitch as the last param in the threads.txt file.

I will try to do this in the next day or two.

I dont think a G95 is needed before a thread operation, the G76 thread cycle does the correct move.

I dont understand your issues on the tool change. I think it works correctly.

Well, this is a bit embarrassing.  I thought it was set up so that a metric user just entered the pitch in the line labeled TPI and the code handled it, but now looking at the code I think it does not.

Can one of the metric users come in here and tell me if it does handle metric threads correctly? I cannot believe in over a year of this being out no one has complained about this before.

Thanks for the nice comments, it is always nice to hear.

We have talked about allowing a user defined name for each operation. Its kind of on  the list for a V2

I went up to Brians shop today to review our plans for the CNC seminar and got a chance to see Mach4 running, and in particular the new screen designer. All I can say it is just about amazing. Mach screens will now have all the common GUI widgets, like list boxes, tabbed dialogs, images, etc. And its all integrated into one language environment, so all the gui elements share the same code. This is going to make wizard development just amazing.

See it all, Friday, April 12. Cabinfeverexpo.com

I am going to Brians shop tomorrow, we will talk about a better way for me to update the installer. Right now I have to depend on Scott to do it.

You need to run the installer as administrator. Save teh file, right click on it and choose Run as Administrator.

We are trying to follow the microsoft recommended practice, and this happens on win7 and win8

can you save a job file of one of the failed jobs and post it here. The job file is very small, but it contains everything I need to duplicate the job as you see it.
