G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Polar Mode in Mach3 Mill
« on: February 19, 2008, 11:19:05 AM »
Thank you for the reply. I tested the following program, based on the supplied code. The tool path window only generated linear motion, instead of a circular path with intervals of peck drilling. Is there a setting somewhere in Mach3 that needs to be changed to allow polar motion? Any more advice would be very welcome.
