I am playing with the free version of codeshark, when I draw something, save as dxf and open in lazycam, clean it up and hit g code, when I open the g code in Mach 3, it comes up in metric, I have the Mach 3 set up for inch, is there somewhere I can get the code to show up in inches?
Thanks
Terry

Hi, Terry

If your using Inch in Mach3, Check your g-code for a G21 in it, change it to G20 or remove the G21.

Use MDi to reset Mach3 to Inch mode, enter G20 on MDi line.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Thanks Chip, I will give it a try.

Hi Chip, I tried your suggestions, no luck, there is no G20 or G21 in the code, I tried adding G20 near start of code, no effect, I cannot find anywhere in the codeshark program to set units, maybe I can get hold of someone from the codeshark program.
Thanks
Terry

Hi, Terry

On your Settings Page, Bottom right, Units are thy in MM or INCH, To change click on UNITS Alt-U button and retry.

Or use MDi to reset Mach3 to Inch mode, enter G20 on MDi line.

Post your DXF and G-code file.

LazyCam deals in Units 1 can be, 1 inch or 1 mm, Mach3 determines how to treat them

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi Chip, I went to settings page, changed the settings from inch to MM and back to inch, on the top line of the run and mdi screen there is a G20, I also entered a G20 in the G code with the code editor, but the code still shows up in metric. If I use one of the g codes supplied with the program such as the road runner, no problem, it is in inches. Go figure.
