What about the lubrication of the Z Axis mechanics? After 70,000 up and down motions is it running dry?

Your mistake was using .19685 instead of 0.19685039370078700000000000000000000000.

Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Re: prevent G31 from writing to file

This code will move X axis negative .25" if it does make probe contact at .25" it then descended Z axis in the negative direct for up to an inch.

  Code "G31X -.25 F" & Probing_Feed 'G31 X~ Y~ Z~ A~ B~ C~ to perform a straight probe operation
  While IsMoving() 'Waiting for the move
  Wend
  Code "G4 P0.25" 'G4 P~ . Dwell the axes non-moving for time in seconds or milliseconds
  Probe_Move_neg_X = GetVar(2000)   'Store probe location at the time the probe contacts
 If Probe_Move_neg_X  <  .25 then
   Code "G31 Z-1 F" & Probing_Feed 'G31 X~ Y~ Z~ A~ B~ C~ to perform a straight probe operation
  While IsMoving() 'Waiting for the move
  Wend
  Code "G4 P0.25" 'G4 P~ . Dwell the axes non-moving for time in seconds or milliseconds
  Probe_Move_neg_Z = GetVar(2002)   'Store probe location at the time the probe contacts
End If

Mach3 does a spiral bore with G2 OR G3 by just stepping the Z axis.

Yes I have had problems with pausing in subroutines. I don't use them anymore so I haven’t had any problems pausing the program.

You need to check Persistant Offsets and Persistant DRO's in the General Configuration page.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: GoTo Statment?
« on: June 27, 2011, 10:02:19 PM »
Try this code, do you see what you were missing. The VB-Script-Commands.pdf manual or edit the Mach3 wizard code to see subroutines.

Sub test99()
   Dim torch As String
   torch = isoutputactive(output1)
   If torch = "true" Then
      MsgBox "   Back to manual control "
      GoTo test
   End If
   Print torch
   test:
   Print "Ended"   
End Sub

Their trying to tell you politely they don't have a wizard for point cloud or care to write one, but you can write your own wizard based on the G31 sample. ???
