Nested Comments
« on: March 17, 2008, 07:07:06 AM »
Is there a way to get Mach3 to work with Nested Comments in a g-code file? I have found a great little program for creating gears and it lists nested comments in the .nc file that it creates. Mach3 sees these comments as errors. Therefore I have to spend a considerable amount of time deleting these comments. I've enclosed an attachment of an 8 tooth clock pinion as an example.

I believe Mach needs ( and ) around a comment instead of a * .

It may possibly be changed in the Post Processor or choose another PP ?  Not sure though.

The program in question provides no option to change or modify the post processor. I was hoping that there was an option in Mach3 to allow nested comments.

Hi, RC

Now if we could just (only) keep it all sorted.

The gear program has some further things/issues to sort out, I think.

Thanks, Chip

Chip,
Yes, I noticed that. Looks like several "spring" cuts.
