FAQs / Re: Need help changing Mach labels or font size. Please.

When ever you enter a number in a DRO you have to press ENTER to confirm it.

Have you got auto scaling of screen set in the general config, this can some times mess the fonts up.

I have always found it better with mach to assign values to pins and check the count, like this :-

Sub CheckPins
   count=0
   If IsActive(Input1) Then
      count=count+1
   End If
   If IsActive(Input2) Then
      count=count + 2
   End If
End Sub

You then have your 4 numbers, 0,1,2,3

With you now, you want 3D jogging.

You could ask    but I think not

You can feed between 2 points on 2 different fixture offsets.

e.g.

G54 G00 X0 Y0 Z1.
G55 G01 Z2. F100.

If its any good to you ?

Hi Don,

I think the .NC files will be text based g-code files.  The best thing to do is ask them for a sample .NC file and post it here for us to look at.
