nice work guys. :o
any way to pan on the tool path screen after you zoom?
also can you show the tool path extents  on the tp page, I guess that's possible to do with the editor?



I am also missing the Toolpath Extents info that Mach3 provided after loading a program. Has this been addressed? I looked for DROs that might have this info, but couldn't find anything that looked right.

Hmm, looking there I found:

PathXmax: 0.00245
PathXmin: 0.00245
PathYmax: 0.002375
PathYmin: 0.002375
PathZmax: a ridiculously long number, 2.***************************x
PathZmin: the same ridiculously long number as the Zmax

This is with the roadrunner tap file loaded.

Are these the correct registers?

@awander
Do extents numbers look correct if you zero your Axis and Regenerate Toolpath?

If I zero the axes and regen the toolpath, the numbers change slightly, but they are still very small, ans the MAX and MIN values for each axis are identical to each other.

I would say M4 has gone bad it will need reinstalled

Well, thanks for that suggestion. A re-install fixed it.

with M4 its the simple things that go wrong (brain fart) a reinstall always helps if there is one silly little thing wrong just for fun if you goto http://machremote.dyndns.org:8080/ its mach help desk there is a probing screen set
