Title: Mach pukes on this code.
Post by: boilerbots on March 30, 2009, 05:44:40 AM

Something to do with the Macro call at line 353. I am using Mach3 R3.042.024 and the only option I had was to disable macros in my post processor and re-generate.

I later experienced a problem with a macro call where the line following the macro return is skipped. So maybe this is related to that failure.

It runs sweet in R3.043.000

I was told in a different thread to avoid 043 because it had some of the fixes from 042 removed as an experiment at fixing other problems.

I am running a SmoothStepper and was having problems and so I just went back to 042 to play it safe.

Can the revision history file be updated to reflect what was changed in 043? Then I could decide if it is worth trying. Macros are really nice sometimes but since this code is generated by a CAM program and there is virtually no limit to how long a program can be it isn't necessary to ever use a macro.

I can confirm Gramhams statement, It runs fine here. I ran the code 3 time to be sure.

Just a thought, (;-)
