Mach3 under Vista / newbie question: how to show current xyz coords during simulated run.
« on: July 31, 2019, 03:36:15 AM »
Hello,
Although I use mach3 for some time, I feel this question is firmly in the newbie category.
When I step through code for debugging, not connected to the machine, how can the current (calculated) XYZ position be shown?
The coordinations always stay 0, but the toolpath is correctly shown.
simple example:
line1: G00 X0 Y0 Z0
line2: G00 X10 Y10 Z0
When I am on line 2, I would like the interface/coordinates to show 10,10,0
this would be helpful with code containing variables
I am sure I'm overlooking an obvious setting
best regards
