....saw that too Chris. And if you hit EDIT CODE, it's there. Close that window and it loads properly.
I beat on this for a while earlier and gave up.  lol

ummm ok.. think this will be addressed?  kind of make my whole exercise pointless if i can load code from a macro?

Works perfectly here but I had to change the M99 at the end of your code to a M30. I also added  the regen button in the VB so that the toolpath will display.

ok.. i leave this alone till its sorted in a next revision perhaps.. im trying to simplify the process and as it stands its easier to explain to end users how to simply load the code manually than to get macro working right. .. less button presses actually lol

thanks for all the help guys :)

Ah well it may be due to the fact I have Rev4 here, have tried to go back but my xmls are screwed so not sure if the reason its not working now is because of that or because its and older revision.

What happens if you write a short G code program with the M98 call?

actually manually clicking regenerate in my screen does not fix it either...
hitting edit button does th etrick but thats not a solution for what I need unfortunately.

how would i upgrade my mach to your revision? is it covered in my license?

that works fine.. i played with it lots last night..

the

Code ("G0X0Y0Z50A0")

part of code runs great ... its after the m99 that it all goes pear shaped..
