Title: undesirable behavior of wizard
Post by: tantan on July 24, 2011, 09:52:38 AM

i used the keyway wizard. it works fine but:

the code which is generated is for example X-90 y0. a few lines above is G1 F75. if mach3 executes the line x-90 y0 and while the machine is moving i press stop. no worries yet: the machine stops. but when i press run mach go's on with the  the x-90 y0 command but then with G0 speed. ???????

i think the solution would be to generate code like: G1 x-90 y0 F75

The Problem IS you pressed STOP instead of Feedhold(;-)

At feedhold all the modal calls such as G1 and feedrate stay in play but with stop Mach dumps all the modal values AS it should. Then IF you press start again the only thing it knows at that point is G0 so that is what it uses.

Might want to curl up with a GOOD gcode manual and study up on the process a bit.
