Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Using the write wizard
« on: October 23, 2010, 07:50:58 PM »
Hi Than
I'm also a new user
I've had some problems with the gcode that write wrote.
gcode just full of zero's for movement
haven't had a chance to look at it as other work has got in the way
will be interested to hear the responce from more acomplished users
my gcode here
http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16228.msg109709.html#msg109709
think I have answered my queery on the offsets and it should work the way written
but I dont see why its not generating a toolpath.

Hi Tweakie

Still having problems, guess user generated with write not generating x and y travel

This makes sense to me up to line 8
then the code is all zeros.
no quite sure why it is using i and j on a g1 but I guess they are offset codes so you can use them
in straight lines as well as curves.
I'm not really sure about the G90 where it is - I thought the absolute instruction would not work
with the I and J relative instructions.
will keep playing as I have time - still waiting on a couple of parts for my mill as it got
damaged in transit so haven't got it set up yet.

Will take this over to a more related topic if I keep having problems as it doesn't fit here

Just my intro post so I don't get rejected as a spambot

Didn't find any intro places on the board

Have just bought a little mini mill for engraving sign work and am trying to get write to work.
