I think he used a version after I fixed it :) I fixed it back in May or something like that.

New release is getting tested now but as you can guess it takes a long time to test it all :( The bigger issue is every time we find something the process starts all over again. We have been making parts with the latest version so I don't think it is to far off!

Thanks
Brian

it is fixed. it now defaults to 1" and moves 1" i am thrilled as I am using fairly expensive compression router bits and would hate to break one due to a mis jog.

Version 2.0.4612 is the current "release" version. It does not contain the fix.

?

The fix Brian refers to has been implemented in the development versions on the FTP site here:

?

Do not be tempted to correct the spelling in the link, the typo is real.

The versions here have not been fully blessed, and may have other quirks. That said, many people are running them with good results.

Ok thanks, but this problem with the toolpath being off center, has become a real problem for me..

I just ram a job this morning.. I started by probing to find the center of part, when centered I zeroed the X and Y

Then loaded the tool and probed the tool Hight so that was set, then loaded the g code file.

Checked the X and Y they were at zero the z was at the correct height.

Started to run the job the X and Y went no where near the correct position and the z dove into the part… wrecked part now

So I flipped over and did the same thing exactly and it cut prefect . .

I have had this happen before when I run the part the first time if I re zero center everything and try again it runs fine..

I have tried this on 3 different computers also

Any suggestions,

I have run into another problem, not sure what the cause..

when i load the gcode file it never shows the machining to start in the parts center in the tool path display... form a couple of my profiles, if i start a run and then stop re zero the dro's and regen the tool path its now starting in the middle.. in the tool path display..

but i do have a couple profiles that don't have that problem i don't see any setting's that are different.
Do the profiles go bad? or get some sort of glitch, don't see any difference other than the way the tool path starts when the gcode is first loaded and its way off center position

thanks i'll do that. i actually knew that and ad done it before but forgot as i am forgetting a lot of things.

Spencer,

The easiest way to switch versions back and forth is to rename directories. I rename Mach4Hobby to something else,?like Mach4Hobby_4612, install the dev version from scratch, open two explorer windows and copy license, profiles, screens, docs if you've added any yourself, everything needed, then you can switch back and forth just by renaming directories.

That is a path to the folder where we keep the Dev versions.

Okay, We can look at your positions. Do you have the machine setup on the internet so I can remote in and have a look at it? I would like to see if we are turning on some sort of offset that we didn't think about. Feel free to send me the profile and Gcode if you would like. I am sure we can find it! We have loads of offsets that we can do and I know it is one of them that is getting turned on and we just need to fix that.

Thanks

Gary,

After testing it can not be done! We need to do the semaphore :( I can show you how t make your dialog work. We can add a spin lock to wait for the dialog to say that it has shutdown .. If you want send me your screen and I will show you how to make it happen .

Thanks

I am trying to work on the dialog thing for you still ... One thing at a time. I have enough work to do and I am trying to fit this in for you guys. I think I see the issue with the dialog. We may need to make a frame to have as the parent of the dialog. Testing that now

Thanks

Ok thanks, but this problem with the toolpath being off center, has become a real problem for me..

?

I just ram a job this morning.. I started by probing to find the center of part, when centered I zeroed the X and Y

Then loaded the tool and probed the tool Hight so that was set, then loaded the g code file.

Checked the X and Y they were at zero the z was at the correct height.

Started to run the job the X and Y went no where near the correct position and the z dove into the part… wrecked part now

?

So I flipped over and did the same thing exactly and it cut prefect . .

?

I have had this happen before when I run the part the first time if I re zero center everything and try again it runs fine..

I have tried this on 3 different computers also

Ok Thanks Brian

I have run into another problem, not sure what the cause..

when i load the gcode file it never shows the machining to start in the parts center in the tool path display... form a couple of my profiles, if i start a run and then stop re zero the dro's and regen the tool path its now starting in the middle.. in the tool path display..

but i do have a couple profiles that don't have that problem i don't see any setting's that are different.
Do the profiles go bad? or get some sort of glitch, don't see any difference other than the way the tool path starts when the gcode is first loaded and its way off center position

All new to me.. Lets get what we can for data and see what we can find. I think that is the best thing to do.

Thanks
