General Mach Discussion / Re: Gcode mishaps

Is there a physical/mechanical e-stop button wired to your machine ?
If so, is it also wired to your computer so Mach "see's" it ?

Hello all...

Been around CNC Lathes for a number of years, soon i will be getting alittle 6040 cnc router for home use so i just started to get familiar Mach over the last week or so.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Mach software; devs, users, plugin makers all the same, from the little ive seen so far, its very impressive.

Have fun and take care...

General Mach Discussion / Displaying a space between lines in g-code viewing window ?

« on: April 02, 2016, 03:23:58 PM »

In the image below you will see what some g-code looks like in a text editor and what the same file looks like in Mach3's run window.

I would like to know if there is a way to have Mach display the code with a space  between the lines so its shows just like it does in the text file, possible ?

The reason behind this is so i can use custom edits in my post process file to use line numbers only at the beginning of each operation, and later when the program is being run in Mach i can use these line numbers for "Run From Here", just like you would on a "normal" cnc control.

In case image does not display:
