General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach Workshop at Cabin Fever Expo

There are many other hotels in the area.  Look at www.cabinfeverexpo.com there is a page of other hotels on that site.

 I just talked to the show promoter, and he said the hotels are starting to get requests for rooms for the Inaugration- its almost a 3 hr drive to Washington DC!

Thanks,that was  the info I needed, although I dont like the answer :-)

The VB in Mach is very weak- there are no debugging tools. All you can do is put msgbox notes in the code.

Ill look at it and see if I can figure it out.

You might also check Harrisburg PA- thats barely an hour drive, but maybe not good flights from CA. Also check Baltimore, its south, closer, and better Freeway connections.

OK, I see what you are doing- you create a description by taking the tool number and diameter.

In my display I show the tool number, and the diameter. If the system has a description I show it, otherwise I show 'unknown'

I have talked to Tormach and they will be updating their version to include the GetToolDesc. for now I'm going to leave the wizard as it is.

What I need to know is does my test work OK on a tormach system- does it display 'unknown' in a tool table, or does it give  VB error message?

Tormach does not have the getToolDesc command in its version. In the most recent version of the wizards I have code that looks to see if the path is not C:\Mach3. It not it is supposed to skip the gettooldesc command and just insert the word 'unknown'

Are you using 2.82 and this is not working?

Art wrote the code that tests the license, I have no idea how it works. Its possible he has a hard coded path, try putting the license at C:\Mach3\WizLic.dat Only other suggestion I have is to request a new license file from the Newfangled site. Send a mail explaning whats happening, Scott will replace your license.

The license should be in the base folder, not in the addons or newfangled folder. Im the standard version it shold be C:\Mach\WizLic.dat. I think Tormach uses C:\PCNC\WizLic.dat

I just checked and the Surface and Thread operation were resetting the tool number in the preview. All the others are OK

Ive made the fixes, and started a V2.83. I wont put it up yet, Ill wait to see if we find any more troubles in 2.82. I hate to keep posting new versions.

Ok, I found that. The preview code is not supposed to use the tool and speed numbers, just show the code. I wonder if any other Preview buttons do that?

Ill have to dig around and see what I find

Thanks for the note.

yes, these files should wind up in Addons\Newfangled

Note that the zip file has the name Newfangled282. Do not let that default as the folder name, there are references to other files that depend on the correct folder name
