Toolpath Display
« on: May 20, 2009, 04:14:55 PM »
My tool path display shows the tool path but does not show the movement as the code is run like it use to. Any ideas on what to look for.
Thanks
Dave

Has this just happened? Have you upgraded recently?
Have a look at the toolpath settings from the Config menu.

Don't know when it happened, just noticed it. I really don't look at that part of the screen to much. It is a customized screen. I loaded the regular 1024 screen and it does the same thing. Looked at the tool path settings but don't know what the defaults are for those. I am using version 3.042.

This will also happen if you use a G92 as the actual tool movement will be offset by the difference between the original tool zero and the new tool zero.

Ok on the toolpath options check Tool Position, see if that helps, you may also want the origin sphere and maybe machine boundaries.

There is no G92 in the code....

Hood,
Checking the Tool Position, looks like that took care of it. It now works with my modified and the original 1024.set file.
Thank you
Dave
