Title: Can not Run from Here if the G-code lines is over 1000000 lines
Post by: mongkol on March 28, 2021, 05:09:27 AM

Hello All,
I have some problem with mach3 software with license. I have the big files of G-code more than 1800000 lines.
 I have run with mach3 software  for a long time. After midnight, I will go to sleep. I stop the mach3 and remember the G-code line for  next running on tomorrow. the remembered line show 1075000 lines before stop. Tomorrow , I use Run From Here at the line at 1070000 but Mach3 show only begin at the line 1000000. Not 1070000. What happen ? I can not begin at the line 1070000. How to solve this problem ?

For long operations I usually Feed Hold the machine, then press Stop, switch the spindle off and leave the rest switched on (Computer, drives, ...)
One of my files has a tad less of 1.6 million lines.
In the morning just switch on spindle and click Cycle Start :)

็Hi Zasto ,
Thanks for your reply. I understood your meaning. But my problem is .... if run the G-code for long operations until the g-code number is over 1000000 lines. Assume the g-code number is 1251000 line with the feed hold. I hit the feed hold ,press stop and then go to Zero. Afterthat I need to use Run from Here on mach3 screen with the g-code number line at 1251000 or 1250000. The mach3 not allow to Run from Here at the begin line position at 1251000 or 1250000. The mach3 allow to begin only the g-code at the line 1000000 but I need to Run from Here at the begin line 1251000 or 1250000. How to solve this problem ? It waste time if begin at the line 1000000. Understand my idea ?

If you don't switch your computer and controller off, there is no need to send machine to zero.

In this video you will notice that the run was resumed from line 1.7+ million.

Oh,Zasto
It seems your Run from Here is no problem.  I will show my problem to you later if I go to my factory.
Thanks for your help
