Hi
I have noticed that in using the 'Run From Here' command, if that selected line is some type of M command, and perhaps others, though the Prep Positioning dialog box indicates what seem to be correct target coordinates for a prep move, the system runs away- generally hitting a soft limit, but sometimes just randomly stopping at some weird place. I have called this 'run from here' command several times against a given line, and the runaway position seems to vary, and is not related in any obvious way to machine coordinates or offsets, etc; it seems random. However, if I 'run from here' on any G or coordinate line, the positioning function actually goes where it says it will go.
Here is a (subsection) sample drill operation, with a change to a facing operation. I can 'run from here' on any drill coordinate line, and all is fine. If I 'run from here' on M09, M05, M01, or M08, I get the runaway. Perhaps there is some problem with my code, but if the Preparation Positioning dialog box says, for example, x=2, y = 2, z = 1, and that is within reason for the part, but the table goes to x=18, y=0, z = 2.2, Im not sure how I can be causing that; the dialog box suggests Mach knows where it should go, it just doesnt go there.
Any insight? Using the current lockdown version of Mach3 under Win XP.
Regards,
Rob
