G73 - Pullback setting
« on: January 25, 2011, 05:12:36 AM »
Hi,

Can anyone explain why the pullback setting for G73, found under 'Config' / 'Ports and Pins' / 'Mill Options', is not persistent? I want to change this from 0.1mm to 0.25mm and this works while Mach is running but when it is closed down and re-opened, it reverts to 0.1mm. I even tried using the 'Save Settings' on the 'Config' menu but this did not work either.

Is there a good reason why it cannot be persistent?

I searched the forum for an answer and although a few others have noticed the same thing, none has received an answer.

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks Graham, that just about sums it up :) I find it strange that it is not a parameter within the G73 code and has to be set elsewhere.

Believe me its been mentioned too many time to remember just how many, all I can say is the next major version (V4) is supposed to have all these niggles sorted out.

I can't wait to find out if they are, how about you Hood  ;)
