Mach4 General Discussion / /// Divide dro by 2 button ///

« on: November 24, 2016, 01:26:55 PM »

  I would like to add a button that divides a axis dro by 2 .I have a manual mill that has this feature. I can edge find one edge, move to the opposing side and edge find, hit divide by 2 and move to the center. People have said to look at the probing screen but i dont see that option and  it probing doesnt seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Mach4 General Discussion / *** PROBING SCREEN ? ***

« on: November 24, 2016, 01:15:24 PM »

  Has anyone successfully used a probe with the probing screen. It would be a really nice feature if it worked but i have a smashed probe that makes me think it is not ready for use. Is there a manual or any literature available for mach 4 probing?  Thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Error displays when trying to access EDIT G CODE

« on: May 26, 2016, 03:01:26 PM »

when pushing the edit G code button, I get this error.  X Execution of command "c:\Mach4\gedit""E:\conveyor sprocket rex steele2.nc'' failed (error 0: the operation completed successfully.) Also, before this error the editor would come up as a little box instead of full screen. ideas?

Thank you, it is fixed. i kept seeing that error message but did not know that double clicking the g code would bring up the line numbering as it did not coralate with the even  N numbers on the screen. I realize that this had nothing to do with updating to the new software and is something that was changed in my cad/cam post. im not sure how or why i changed that but i did. thanks to all who offered help, i really do appreciate it.

i noticed the message about a bad character on line 19 but my lines go in increments of 10 so i am not sure where 19 is. machine setup units and units mode are both in inch. i see what you mean about steps per being off but if i mdi a 1 inch move with a dial indicator, it moves 1 inch on the money. is there some other files that would be helpful?
