That sounds great! If I could get a link to the ftp site I will try to update to the later build. Thanks!

I’ve been splitting files to work around the issue for now, but it’s far from ideal.
Is there any chance an older version without this issue can be used?
Splitting files simulates am M0 sort of but for an M01 it’s not feasible.
I sincerely hope there is a plan at headquarters.

Version is 4.2.0.4300 on a pavilion laptop. The controller is a stepper3.

Files containing an M0 or M1 will not load. A proven file to which I add either of the above will not load. I'm stumped.

Thanks! It’s more than I had.
I wonder what is the latest build?
And would the latest have the mist information?
Anyhow...  thank you

I can not find a version of the Mach4 Mill manual with Chapter 6. Can someone post a link to it please?

Thank you. I’ve had great success by placing G52s into subroutines and calling these addresses and then cancelling them with another subroutine all without any unexpected behavior.

Subprogram not found solution
Subprogram not found solved.
Subprogram not found problem solved.

In an effort to help others looking for this in the future...Here's how!
Formatting is everything.

In Main program loaded into the G-code viewer or MDI- call your subprogram.
Leading zeros here are okay
ex.>      M98 P0300

In subprograms folder...
Build a text file with no extension and without any leading zeros
Name it
ex.>      O301

Regardless of body of G-code content, this file must have the subprogram name as its first line without leading zeros.
ex.>     O301

After the body of G-code content it must have an M99 WITH a carriage return following that.
As apparently the last line is not read; so it better be a "do nothing" carriage return.
ex. below
M99
          <<extra carriage return or two here

I hope this helps!

M98 (subtest.tap) L2

Where does this go?
None of the subtest files work.
