Thanks Klaus for that-

I am using 1024.lset-- turning and there is no block delete button

What is the command in gcode to turn on or to turn off the block delete mode

thanks

Hi Fred

Hi Fred

you could put a LED with "Block Delete On LED" function on your screen to indicate the block delete state
and use the shortkey "Delete" to toggle
or add a button with "Block Delete switch toggle" function to your screen

Hello Klaus--

actually I would like to have a gcode word to activate the block delete control function

I would use it to jump lines while i am debugging .

regards

fred

Hi Fred,

gcode "word" for block delete control is the slash.
With shortkey and LED with the "Block Delete On LED"  or
button "Block Delete switch toggle"
you tell Mach3 to interpret or ignore the gcode line. I'm afraid I don't understand your question.

Thanks Klaus--
yes what I want to know is if there is a command that i can use in the gcode which will
instruct the processer to ignore certain lines.

I would like to toggle block delete on or off by setting a "mode"
the purpose is that while debugging it is often quick and convienent to skip some of the
subroutines just to speed up the debugging process. In programming this function would
be applied as follows
blockdelete=.true.

if blockdelete = .true. then go to line ???? else go to line ZZZZ

this enables the skipping of large parts of the code while blockdelete is on.
when debugging is completed we just change the line blockdelete to .false.

/m99 p100 (Fanuc control It would jump to line number never tried it in mach3)
M99 (repeat the cycle)
M99 p1 (or might try that to go back to the beginning of the program, again not sure about mach3 use of m99's within a program)
N100 G0 Z0
X0 Y0 M5
M30

I create as many as I would need to skip sections of the program. Example: I use it to finish out an endless loading routine on a lathe. When I need to complete the cycle it would jump to a section of code that would clear out the loading sequence and end the repeated cycle of loading and then machining. Finishes the machining of parts and then puts the machine, gantry and palletizer  in the home position for the next day.

The / block delete is an ignore.
