Have the latest rev 1.0.6 and still having problems of the tooling path not displaying if any changes are made to the tool selection menu. Example: If the tool rpm is is changed to any number other than the default value the display will not generate a tool path. Just displays a small dot in the middle of the screen.
Actually changing ANY tool menu items... feed rate, rpm, plunge or selecting a different tool from the drop down menu will cause the no display problem. As long as you don't monkey with the default tool menu items the program works. This is the same problem rev 1.0.3 had.... so its still broken.
Seeing the Rev 1.0.6 is STILL DEFECTIVE:
1) Newfangled Solutions should remove the tool selection menu and just have manual input for RPM, Feed and Plunge.
Or A better option...
2) Don't purchase it until Newfangled Solutions can figure it out.

If teh tool path doesn't display its a sign the gcode has an error that stops parsing the code.
Please post a job file here that has the error so I can see whats happening.

This has been a problem from the start with other users as well. I suggest you review your forum. Newfangled Solution is selling a defective product... very simple. It should be pulled from sales and the tool selection menu fixed or deleted and offered a refund to those who want it. It's clear Newfangled Solution is ripping off consumers.

I follow this forum several times every day, and I have responded to every problem report. We do not release a new version for every problem, but do release one when we have enough new features to warrant it.
I assure you that the toolpath display works correctly in many hundred test cases and now for many users. Please provide me with a job file that demonstrates your problem and I will determine what is causing the problem. If it points to a bug in the code it will be fixed promptly.
If you feel you have been ripped off contact Scott at license@machsupport.com and he will refund your money.

I can't see the tool path either. Know that you say that if there is a problem in the gcode it wont display that tool path I think that is my issue. Every time I make a program the feed rate in the program is always zero. When I load the program into mach3 I have to go in and change the feed rate to a number.
This may be the problem why I cant see the tool path on the newfangled program.
If you no why the feed rate is always created as a zero I would love to here it.
PS this is the bought version of the mill wizard.
Thanks

The program is supposed to test for things like feedrate of zero and throw a message box with an error.
Please post a job file here with this problem so I can see whats happening.

Here is the gode that I generated. I still have the white spot center on my screen. the code that is attached an arc with tool #1 from the tool table surface 100 chip load .0002 rpm 4500 feed 1.8 plunge .01 . I have also went to config> tooltable> loaded tool table default inch to see if that made a difference but I did not do anything.

Ok, the code error is on line 24 where a G1 is called with an F 0.0
I think that was fixed, but it may be in the latest V 1.0.11 that Brian has not yet posted to the web site.
I would still like to see the job file, not the Gcode. The job file lets me reproduce your settings and entry values exactly so I can see what you did to get there. Use the Save Job button.
-
I think that I have the correct file for you.
-
Ok that is what I need. I get the result you described on the latest build. I will look at this tomorrow, to late tonight.

Hi all,
Mark you have no tool table file in use.
In MillWizard go to config > tool table > load > then load the default tooltable file > then within your jobfile klick on toolchange > select a tool from tooltable > type in the values you wish > Then ;D
hope that helps.

Thanks for looking into this for me
-
Ok, I found the problem. We were limiting feed rate to 1 decimal, but in this case the plunge rate was .01, so it got formatted to 0
We have been doing a major bit of cleaning up and should be able to post a new version to the web site later today, or tomorrow.
-
ok great thanks for the help

Hi,
just found one thing while testing a new Win7 PC.
In " performance options" " Enable desctop compositon " has to be activated.
If not, toolpath window is not visible.
see pict.

That is interesting, I will have to point that out to Brian, he may have some clue from it.

Hi Ron
I see there is a new version of the newfangled program. I have purchased a version from you already how do I install the update to my system?
-
Just download it, click it to install. It will install the new version and it should run fine.
Wait, I see the version on the net is still 1.0.9 Brian was supposed to put 1.0.11 on the web today, but I see it hasn't happened yet.
-
What version has the fix for my issue that you helped me with above?
Thanks
Mark
-
It is V1.0.11
Brian was supposed to out it on the web server yesterday, I dont know what has happened.
-
hi guys I just down loaded the newest update v1.0.11 and installed on my computer that I had the bought version on it. when I goto help it says I have the demo version. I had asked Ron how to install a new version an I thought I just had to install over it. what do I do to get this new version under my correct account so I can see the tool paths?
I just reloaded old file set up I have the licensed version working again. how do I install the update?
-
You must have received your license in a version before 1.0.09 The license was changed then. Send your pcID number to license@machsupport.com and tell them to need a new license for 1.0.11 There is no charge for a new license.

Thanks Ron
I just emailed them the request.
