It might be on your end as it's worked for 2 other people in the last hour. ?? Try again in a little while maybe??

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Digitizer output comand?
« on: November 04, 2012, 07:13:29 AM »
If I manually "trip" the probe input via hotkey, it should record the current position... right?

Only if your in the middle of a G31 move.

What makes the choice to record the Encoder DRO or the Machine postion DRO ?

There is no choice. It will only write the coordinates from the position DRO's.

As Terry said, you're probably going to need to write your own macro to do what you want.

Then it appears the problem lies within your Vectric layout or the Vectric GCode generation.
Which of the Vectric post processors are you using ??


I doubt it's a Cut2D issue. A screen shot would help, but the code appears to look OK in Mach3 here. All of Vectric's products write good code 100% of the time.

Magicman, can you post a screenshot of what you see in Cut2D and what you see in Mach3?

To revert back to the stock screen you just need to go to the View menu and choose load screens, and load the stock screen, 1024.set

The only thing that get's changed is the M6 macros. If you do tool changes, back up the originals and replace them when switching back.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Post processor files type in vectric products
« on: November 03, 2012, 09:51:24 PM »
Once you load the .txt file, in Mach3, if you close and restart Mach3, it should look for .txt file the next time you run it.

You can also modify the Vectric post.
Change these two lines.

POST_NAME = "Mach2/3 Arcs (inch) (*.txt)"

FILE_EXTENSION = "txt"

to this:

POST_NAME = "Mach2/3 Arcs (inch) (*.tap)"

FILE_EXTENSION = "tap"

Finished Plugins for Download / Re: A new Huanyang VFD plugin
« on: November 03, 2012, 02:46:26 PM »
How are you guys finding the quality of the recent Huanyang VFD's? Since they practically give them away with the spindles, I guess they're worth a shot.

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Re: Screen4 clunky

I've only used in in XP, and it works fine for me. It does have peculiarities, but if you know what they are, it works well.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Adding buttons for Scripts
« on: November 03, 2012, 10:00:22 AM »
Do you need to know how to add a button? There are screen designer tutorials here. Screen 4, at the bottom of the list http://www.machsupport.com/videos/

Here's the code I use in my screen.


XOffset = -52.79   'X offset from laser crosshair to spindle
YOffset = -0.375   'Y offset from laser crosshair to spindle


SetOEMDRO(800,XOffset)
SetOEMDRO(801,YOffset)


Message "X and Y Axis Zeroed to Laser Crosshair"
