General Mach Discussion / Re: Arc issues with multiple offsets?

I have had a similar problem since forever.  I have never been able to get cutter comp to work in a subroutine. Will this ever be fixed in MACH 3?

So, is this a Mach3 issue (BR549 response seems to indicate this) and if so, how does it get attention?

I belive I downloaded 043.022 so I don't think the version is an issue.

I just downloaded a few months ago!  I will look into the most current version.  Thanks.

The only version number I can find is R2.63.

Concerning the program above, if I remove the g41 it works fine.  Also, if I add a second subroutine identical to the first one and call the first subroutine for the first square and the second subroutine for the second square, all is fine.
Thanks for your interest.

Thank you.  After experiencing trouble, I wrote this simple program to draw two squares.  The tool path display and the machine wander all over when drawing the second square.



g92.1 g17 g20
g0 x0 y0
f10
(first square)
m98 p100
x2.000 (position of second square)
g92 x0
g0 x0 y0
m98 p100
g92 x2.0000
g0 x0
m30

o100
G00 x0 y-.3000
G41 d1 g1 x0 y0 (entry move)
(draw square)
G1 y1.0000
x1.0000
y0
x0
g40
g1 x-.3000 y0 (exit move)
g00 x0 y0
m99

I cannot make G41/42 work within a subroutine.  Is this a known problem?  Is there a fix?
