Title: Execute GCODE without motors
Post by: arcadi1988 on September 10, 2012, 07:30:01 AM

Hi,  ;)

I am designing a Simulation Software for Mach3 using the plugin files.  I made a plugin for extract all coordinates of the machine and the tool, and I made a program for show the movements of the milling machine in 3D.

The problem is that the simulation works at the same time that the motors; and I need to run the simulator without the movements of the real machine.

How can I execute a GCode in Mach3, without movements of the motors X Y and Z? I need to disconnect the motors through software.

A lot of thanks!   ;D

You might try the following ... on the MDI screen.

The MDI Input recognises this function Offline (I don't have the Status: Unknown word where unary operation could be), but the motors always works...

I find a OFFLINE Button in the first screen, and It rules!!!

Thanks!
