so how does one run cutter comp on different work coordinates? This has to be an everyday occurrence for some people.

My tooltable is still working with programs....but I have to type in the tool I want to use and type in the diameter on the wizard. Only a minor inconvenience but would be nice if it worked again.

Well here is where I'm at....both subs are totally identical and as long as I only call one of them the program works fine. If I get really crazy and want to call a different sub then things get sticky. I have included a photo of a program and its matching toolpath, one with all sub calls the same and the second program I asked it nicely to run sub 2 and it makes crop circles. Have tried many many different combinations and the results are the same.  ???

tool table is working but cannot select tool from tool properties screen on wizard. There is a button to select tool from table that wont do anything anymore. Im running mach R3.042.040 on an XP Pro with service pack 3. Dual core 2.9 with 2 gig of ram. The PC has nothing but mach on it and it is totally stand alone....no network at all since Ajax CNC has the only LAN port tied up. Has worked like a charm for almost a year till now. I do import gcode with a flash drive on a daily basis.

I reinstalled mach on laptop and set config just like the pc in the house and the one on the mill, and it works fine. But the pc running the milling machine still wont run it correctly. All settings have been tripled checked and it just won't run it. If I call sub o1 for all three work offsets it is ok. If I change it to call sub o2 for all three offsets it still is ok. If I change it to any combination of o1 and o2......fail. It come up with some crazy toolpath for the third work offset. I even tried calling the offsets in the reverse order. If I take out cutter comp all is good, however that really does not help me much.

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / tooltable trouble
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:53:24 PM »
The wizard I'm having trouble with is the Newfangled "A Suite of Handy Wizards". It just wont let me select from my tool list. Not that I can't enter it myself but it worries me that something else may fail....It is a standalone machine so I really dont think it caught a virus.  On the "tool properties" page when I click on the "select tool from table" button nothing happens anymore....always used to work. The machine that is having the problem has never been on any network at all. Not sure what went wrong....expect I clicked on something but for the life of me I can't get it to bring up tool table when I select that button. I still can bring up the table through >config>tooltable...

I have it...been using it for about ten months. I have not changed anything that I know of other than a bunch of end mills.
