Title: Setting of edge finder diameter
Post by: michel-cnc on February 18, 2012, 05:53:14 AM

Hello,
I have the R3.043.022 of Mach3. I don't know how to set edge finder diameter (offsets index).
If i click in the window i can't enter a value. I have not seen a way to specify this in the configuration.

Thank you for your help !
Michel

Adendum: for S and Tool settings it is the same, i can't enter a value directly in the window (when i click in the window the background color changes but i can't enter figures).
I must use "M6 T1" and S8000 in the MDI window to set these parameters (and the corresponding windows are updated).
With the "edge finder diameter" i have not found an MDI command....

Some news, i have found the problem and i think i am a little bit stupid !
The reason is the keyboard was not in "numerical lock" !
I have several computers and i usually have the numerical keypad lock for others, so i don't look at the keypad lock led.
It is really stupid.
