Hi, Brian

There few items that still exist ill post them separately Ver.2.61.

If I load a DXF file and enter a Final Depth or a Rapid Hight without changing the Per Pass value upon clicking OK, LasyCam will lockup.

If I load a dxf file and set the Per Pass value to .5, then I can set Final Depth and Start Depth without lockup.

At this point I can change the Per Pass back to Default Value of 1 and  have no lockup problem.

This is without closing LC and restarting, once shutdown and restarted it will freeze again with out changing the value in Per Pass if Final Depth or Rapid Hight are used.

If I change Per Pass to .5 close the window then change it back to 1 default value again then the problem is gone till restart of LC again.

If there are multipal layers then Per Pas value has to be changed in all layers

Windows  End Task will shut LC down after freeze .

Thank's Chip

Hi, Jack

Probably not the words to use these day's, so Hi, there Jack, go to Config Tab top of screen click on it select Input Signals, scroll down

till you find EStop item un-check it, enter 0 in Port# and Pin Number coll um, click on Apply then OK.

Should fix it.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Nick

I just finished a waterjet conversion that had a AB control turned out nice, it has + - 10 volt servo amp's, used Rutex + - 10 volt to step & dir. card's, there

are other's also just can't think of them now.

As for the tool changer and spindle control, search hear or go to Yahoo user group Mach1/Mach2 search the archive's and you can find info or post there

also.

I have 2 Hardinge lathe's CHNC1 servo and HCNC stepper version, the stepper one is part way converted just haven't had the time to finish it up.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Brian

I have found that if I load a dxf file and set the Per Pass value to .5 that I can set Final Depth and Start Depth without lockup.

At this point I can change the Per Pass back to Default Value of 1 and seem to have no lockup problem.

This is without closing LC and restarting, once shutdown and restarted it will freeze again with out changing the value in Per Pass.

If I change Per Pass to .5 close the window then change it back to 1 default value again then the problem is gone till restart of LC again.

BTW the processer is at 100% when locked up, window's running, End Task will shut LC down  .

Hi, Brian

This morning it was working fine, so I deleted the LC. XML should have re-named it o-well dumb dum me, it's back to freezing up the screen.

On in ital load of LC it doesn't generate an XML that's probably normal  at this time it's freezing as before, even with a xml, I have close it and restart it have try-ed to get it to work and dup. the change that made it work.

Hears my non working xml maybe this will help, send me your working xml to try hear.

Loaded the Dxf I posted  in LC, I can set / change all the item's in Layer Control Except Final Depth and Start Depth if thy are changed and OK is clicked the screen freezes and the only way to get out is Windows Task Manager End Task.

Thank's Chip

Hi, Brian

It locked up when I entered Start Depth and Final Depth in Layer Control column's only.

Been working on Plasma with no Z hight

M3/M5 generates first Dot/Pearce then leaves the remaining 4 with on Dot/Pearce plas/post options 0,0,1,1,20,1 not default..

Manual file mode seem's to work in any sub. Dir. now and post's code to the proper Dir. as assigned in LC.

But it will not update Mach3 even if there all in the same sub. Dir. even when its \Mach3.

Auto file create still post's code in \Mach3 as Gcodefilename.tap, not in \Mach3\Gcode where it should be, but will update Mach3 with new file.

Also it will not increment further file's with the same name, test1.tap, test2.tap as it did some time back, any way I think it did.

Working on some of the post's for LC option's, I have a way to go hear, could you post an example the way it could / would be.

Just some info so you wont get board.

Thank's Chip
