General Mach Discussion / Re: MACH as a CMM machine
« on: August 12, 2011, 02:20:38 PM »I have been working up ideas and code for a CMM page for mach. I need to know if you have any special things you would like to see MACH do as a CMM type machine.( Coordinate measurement machine).
It could do things like probe a hole and set center of circle and give you the diameter.
G68 CR based on the use of a probe to set a vise, or between the COC of two holes, or from any axis plane ,etc
Length between two points and a return to center .
Just need some more input.(;-) TP

OK I just found this thread on the artsoft forum.. what ever happened to the 'Mach3 as a CMM' effort (NOW FIVE YEARS LATER)...
This is EXACTLY what I need to do...
Is it finished... did you guys give up...?
PLS ADVISE
