need to repeat program
« on: May 26, 2012, 03:41:29 PM »
I need to repeat my program X amount of times for my laser to cut all the way through some materials.
Mach2 had a button for this. Mach3 does not. Is ther a way to do this with G-Code?
Need help please.
Thanks in advance.

At the end of the file instead of M30 use M47. Mach3 will repeat the G code program as may times  as you let it.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
