General Mach Discussion / Run Batch G-Code with hold between files

« on: October 24, 2020, 03:58:49 AM »

Hi All;

I am very new to Mach3 and was hoping that someone could assist me with a problem I need to solve.

I have 120 files that I need to run in sequence using a fixture.  Each file is only run once.

After each file, a part needs to be removed from the fixture and the new part inserted.

What I would like to do is:

1) have Mach3 open the first file
2) Wait for the Cycle Start button to be pressed
3) Run the G-Code
4) Hold for the milled part to be removed
5) Open file 2
6) Wait for the Cycle Start Button to be pressed (allows for a new blank to be loaded)
7) Run G-code for file 2

Hold for the milled part to be removed

rinse repeat...

Is there a way that this can easily be done?

Thanks for the assistance!

Mike
