Thanks for the code examples!  I will try this out soon, and see how it works.  I have Mach3 and Mach4 and I have used Lua before so if I get Mach4 working for me, I'll probably try and figure out if I can convert it.

General Mach Discussion / Tracing job extents

« on: May 29, 2015, 07:26:13 PM »

I have spent like an hour searching and maybe I am just not using the proper terminology.  I would love to hit a button and have my CNC trace out either the square box of the entire job OR the outside perimeter of the job.  Sometimes I am using a piece of scrap and would much rather just check it quickly then using the jog controls to move all over the place.

Does this exist?  Is this something a macro script would do?  I use this function on my laser cutter ALL the time and it has saved me from making mistakes as it's quick to check.

Thanks!
