G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Can Mach4 G10 L2 P0 R automatic angle compensation?

Great, thank you for the Hint for G68 - this is exactly what I'm looking for.
With this you can flip the Part on a vacuum plate without trimming it in and doing everything automatic.
You also do not need to trim in the vice every time.

For all who might find this Thread - this seems the official document for Mach4 GCode:
https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Mach4%20Mill%20GCode%20Manual.pdf

It sais it does not?? support angled work coordinate systsems. right?
So it seems I spotted the one feature the LinuxCNC software has over mach4?

Thank you Joeaverage.
Any idea where to find an up to date and official Mach4 Gcode documentation?


Most google Links to offilical Mach ressources are broken, and search does not work here...
Where to find this probing screen, mine looks completely different.
It can measure Angles, but not compensate it in G-code?

Found a Youtube video, where a guy with Linux CNC just flipp a Part, programmed automated probing in his Gcode and set not only the zero also the Angle of the Workpiece with G10.

Code: [Select]

#1111 = [[#1021+#1031]/2 - [#1051+#1061]/2] ; dx
#1112 = [[#1022+#1032]/2 - [#1052+#1062]/2] ; dy
#1113 = [ATAN[-#1111]/[#1112]]       ; dr
#1114 = #[5210+20*#5220]            ; current r
G10 L2 P0 R[#1113+#1114]
Seems this "R" is Linux CNC specific and can not be done with Mach4?
As I understood, Mach 4 can only set the work zero after automated probing and can not compensate an angle?


At least it is not listed in machs G-Code reference?

Is there any way to contact the "professional" support?

Maybe they forgot to package it in the newest version.
At least they could fix the forum to find stuff which maybe is already solved.
But there is no answer on my mail until now...

Find attached an Image of my folder.
Seems I dont have those files in the free download version - maybe you can post yours as example?

Have I done something wrong?

If you mean the folder on Harddrive which comes with Mach4Hobby - there is LuaExamples, but no scripts related to M6 or Toolchange...
