Jr Sample's used car lot. Call me at BR549.
Part of what you are seeing on yout tormach setup is the way te NFW was written long ago.
Try this open the nfw and go directly to the drill function. Set up a simple test troutine. NOW use the preveiw button does your M3s### numbers and tool change show up there? Make sure you have data in all the tool setup fields. AND don't use tool(0). Make sure you checked direction for the spindle. AND make SURE the tool number you used has a value to the diam or just assign one.
NOW if you go back and do it again you MAY not see the M# and T# in the new code. That is one of the quirks you have to learn to deal with until they get fixed. In the way teh NFW deals with mulit jobs may effect HOW it does single jobs SOMETIMES.
The NFW does have some quirks to get used to. Could use some updating to make it a bit more useful in some areas. BUT it does work
Note : It is a LOT better than it used to be as far as quirks RON has been doing a fine job slowly but surely getting it updated. Part of the slow down is the complex way it was coded from the begginning.
Good Job Ron
