Title: run from here at line 0 (cant do a search right now its broke)
Post by: fixittt on March 02, 2012, 12:55:21 PM
just stumbled upon this with a client.
At the top of a code, if you click the run from here at line 0  it blast thru the gcode without moving the machine......

My first though is that the line 0 cannot exist
it could be a verify feature that runs the code to check for errors.

Im just wanting to know if this is normal

I know, I know I am going to get bombarded with a bunch of "Press cycle start to start the program"  The client I was working with is new to mach 3 and I got him lined out with the cycle start to run the code.
I just wanted for my info more then anything else why it did this.  Its not a problem or anything.

I would think thats just normal, if he had started from a line down in the code it should have worked. As you say though no point in doing a RFH from the start ;D

WHen you press RFH Mach3 HAS to run through the Gcode to verify modal values. AND yes there IS a line 0 it is the first line of Gcode. as with all thing computers the counts always start with 0

Double click on the Gcode screen to bring up the Mach3 line #s.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
