General Mach Discussion / Re: UseDiam parameter

Is UseDiam parameter set somewhere in Mach UI and I do not see it?  A tick box in a pulldown or summat?

Config  >  Tool Path  > " Use Radius for Feedrate  "

Hi Ron,

what you say is correct ( of course ) . But it looks different here.
It is not double size it is 50% oversized.
Ah ok I just see the cutter comp is on the wrong side.
Its milling two islands with a link when I assume that, then its correct.
Is there any setting to change this to inside?

Hi Ron,
it looks like the radius and width in " Slot " feature is also double size.

Hi,
by playing around I found that the  "User Gcode" and the "Custom Code" is also displayed in the toolpath window. ( what is nice)  Didn't know that before.
If you type things there what not match the syntax then the Toolpath dissapears. ( pulled some hair off because I didn't know that ) it should be mentioned anywhere.

When you type in more then  three lines of code in  "Custom Code" the OK Button dissapears when opening next time.

The corner radius is not correct in " Rectangle" ( it is double size)

 Ver. 1.011

Hi there,

I noticed that yall changed the location for the Wiz now I end up with multi copies all over the computor ??

got the same thing.     Took me two hours to clean it up since Win7 is new to me.   

Ron,
In Config Tooltable you can coose the Toolfile locaton, it would be nice to have that for the Material File also !

The toolfiles and material files exists in Roaming and Program folder.

The rotate angle feature is nice.

Hi,
what i thought about was a simple homemade R2R board ( I did that to control my high presure coolant pump via VFD using 4bit resolution )

or something like that
