IF there is just a single area where the clearance needs to be 7mm then change the code ONLY in that area to clear. The rest can be much closer.

IF you are asking about the NFW Wizard "Rec Pocket" it DOES have the Corner radius feature.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Also you may want to take a peak at what CODE is actually in your M3.

Has it ALWAYS done this??

Close down Mach3 and try it again. Go back and double check for the Spinup delay. What is the next line AFTER the M3 call?

Newfangled Mill Wizard / New Name for Mill Wizard ????

« on: March 06, 2013, 11:57:43 AM »

HIYA RON MIght want to consider a new NAME for the new wizard. It is going to get very confusing real soon keeping the two apart for troubleshooting and support.

Might I suggest  something along the lines of CPS ( Conversational Programming System) By NFW.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

VB and the development of wizards / Re: How to set the feedrate with a button

« on: March 06, 2013, 11:51:00 AM »

normally I would capture the current FR and then ASK what you wanted for a new feedrate.

Just as easy to TYPE in the wanted feedrate in the DRO.

Russ, I could have sworn I read it as, want to reduce it by 10 IPM and then back to normal.  (;-)

Peter you are in the wrong section for those type questions. Try the general forum.
