Feature Requests / function to highlight selected Gcode in Plot window

« on: August 11, 2007, 05:31:43 PM »

 I would like to have a function to highlight selected Gcode command when the mouse draws over a line in the Plot window. Kcam4 has this function beginning at version 4.08 and it is really handy to edit errant code. You just hold the mouse button down and draw a line with it over the toolpath. it takes you to that G code. In large files it is really a time saver.

Hello. I am Jerry Dotson and live near Pensacola, Fl. 61 years old and retired control technician. I have been interested in CNC a long time. I saw an old tape machine in 1969 at Piper Aircraft making landing gear parts.  I was hooked. I built my CNC router in 2002. I started with Stepperworld drivers and soon grew tired of 20 IPM and got Gecko 210's. Now I get 120 IPM rapids. Leadscrews get to whipping above that speed. I make model airplane parts and small signs. Just a hobby nothing more. I use Mach3.
