General Mach Discussion / Re: Toolpath Crosshairs Display incorrectly when using Work(fixture) Offsets
« on: December 30, 2012, 05:20:26 PM »
Dateline 12/30/12
This is a bug that should have a higher priority than it seems to have!
I haven't worked with Mach3 for about 5 years (a renewby). And this
bug has wasted quite a few hours. Last time I was using a 2D mill with
wheels and quills (SW Track). Now on my new Tormach trusting the tool path
is real important. While I know the value of trial runs etc, creating offline code
kinda depends on trusting Mach3 interpretation of code.
Is the displayed tool path always correct and the cross-hair follower only
sometimes correct?
I'm not sure what should be in the Current Position DRO with G52/G92 active,
but the cross-hair should follow the toolpath no matter what.
While it is true that one could watch the mach-coord DRO to see what is happening,
that's why the graphics are there.
Can we get a plan for fixing this?
