General Mach Discussion / M98 not working since Ver 3.043.022 Help

« on: April 15, 2012, 05:04:29 PM »

Hi,
  I've been running Version 1.84 since 2006. I updated to version R3.043.022 because I wanted the updated Video window.
  I save the original screenset because I wanted to keep the Multiphase Loop button which I use a lot.
  In the old version I can run this Macro Here's a short example: 
 
 N1 G90(notes about program)
 N2 G00 a0.0
 N2 m98 p1
 N3 G00 a90.0
 N4 m98 p1
 N5 G00 a180.0
 N6 m98 p1
 N7 G00 a270.0
 N8 m98 p1
 N9 G00 a0.0
 N10 G02
 N11 O 1
 N12 "g codes"
 N13 "      "
 N14 "      "
 N15 "for pockets"
 N16 m99

   In ver 1.84 this program has always run just fine.
  In the new ver 3.043.022 it will cycle through the A-axis, and return to zero and ignore the m98, the p1, and the g-code between O1, and m99.
 Can anyone help? Am I missing something in the config files?
 I know I can write this code differently to get the same job done, but I may have a 1000 programs already written this way I use, and I'm trying to avoid rewriting everyone.
 Is it that the New version doesn't like the old screenset, or the old .xml or even the code itself?
 
  Thank you for any help in advance!!

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Delimiter?

« on: October 01, 2006, 09:49:27 AM »

 Hi,
    I've run a ah-ha controller for years that uses Artisan Pro. I'm just finishing a new machine that will use Mach3. In Artisan I could use (") as a blocker so I can right a brief description of the part program to the right of the first few lines of G-code. As long as the description starts with, and ends with quotation marks the program will not see it, and will run the program normally. I've gotten use to, and spoiled by being able to see any important info for any program that I may need to know in advance, and have it visable to read. Is there a way to do the same thing without affecting the running of the program in Mach3.
  Thank you,
