Excellent work Hood - that tool-changer certainly is slick.

Just a guess but I would suspect an electrical spike (noise) is being created when your torch fires and this is upsetting your PC.

Try disconnecting the torch and THC then running your GCode again to see if the problem persists.

You could certainly do it without the laser pointer and just by using the tool point if you wish.

Only linear distortion (scale) is easily catered for at run-time.

A visual location method and local system rotate was discussed in a earlier thread http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,22932.0.html
It is not difficult nor expensive to implement.

Tangent Corner / Re: Mist coolant

I don't need a large volume of coolant mist spray so I use one of the simple inline oilers that are used with air tools.

Sounds as though you may have turned off the Jog ON/OFF button on the main screen (It should have a green border to enable keyboard jogging).

Galil / Re: Problems with losing position

« on: January 28, 2014, 03:02:05 AM »

Is there a way to check if the license is legit?  I have upgraded Mach3 and Galil plugin both without issue,seems that would catch an illegal license?

Check with licensing http://www.machsupport.com/contact-us/
