Mach Screens / labels incorrect in mach3

« on: February 14, 2013, 02:42:27 PM »

i have machscreen 1.56 and made a .set. in it i have a MDI label.
near there is an inch/mm toggle. when i open mach3 the MDI label reads
inches. if i toggle the inch/mm button, it changes to mm's. every now and then
it will read right(MDI)
Thanks for any help

do i really need the While ........ Wend ? the code works without it.
if it does something needed then i'll leave it there.

value = GetOEMDRO(800)  ' get value of X DRO
SetOEMDRO(800 , value / 2)  ' half X value
While IsMoving ( )
Wend
Code "G0 Z.5"  ' or inc. move to clear part
While IsMoving( )
Wend
Code "G0 X0" & x/2  ' move to center
End

i want the toolpath to look as the actual mill is working.
this way it may be cutting in the middle of the stock but
the toolpath is not moving as the mill

  but in the toolpath it shows the spindle at the lower-left.
if i go to zero, it's at the lower-left not the middle of the stock

guess what i'm saying is that after i find the edge of all four sides,
if i move to the center of the stock, i want the dro to read zero
on XY.
Thanks again for ALL ya'll help !

i put my stock on the mill(cnc). i find the center to cut a pocket(and drill any holes)
in the middle of stock.  any stock the is oversiized i cut on another mill(manual). some times i don't have a
big enough stock to just eyeball center.
