Lathe wizard taper locks up crashes Mach4 Lathe
« on: November 11, 2022, 06:54:39 PM »
Hello,

Attempting to cut a morse taper today, I used the turn cycle to prepare the blank, and then tried to use the taper cycle to cut the taper. 

The taper cycle has locked up my Mach4 screen, and the wizard is locked up to the point I can't even close it with the task manager.  The wizard screen shows taper cycle 0, which I can't remove, and only the 'settings' button brings up the settings screen (gear icon in upper left).
This has happened twice today.  I had to do a full restart the first time.

I can minimize the wizard window, and there are no hidden popups underneath the main screen or the wizard.

I reloaded the current Mach4 system earlier, but the wizard locked up again.

Any suggestions?

There is a new wizard coming out on Monday that should fix that.
