Mach4 & Single Block

 

Running Mach4 with mill profile and wx4 screenset.
ESS v260
mach ver 4.2.0.4517
build 4517
Trying to use single block. The LED flashes, but the machine does not stop
after each block the way it should. Just continues thru the program.
The message box displays 'Cannot transition from Running to Single Block'
That message shows even if the program has not yet been started.
Have searched here and on machsupport forum, but haven't seen
anything recent that addresses this
 

That has been a 'feature' of Mach4 for a year or more, maybe forever. Ive told Brian about it a couple times, but I think he likes it that way.

I am confident that someone is bugging my office! Yes I am aware of the Single block issue and we are redesigning how it works. We have document telling how it is going to work and a design for how to make it happen in the core. You should see a release in a few weeks with this all redone. Please tell me how your getting this intel LOL !

Brian,

Glad to hear it's coming.
Any chance you can share how it's going to work?
Will it behave like Fanuc, Haas, GE, Allen Bradley, Bridgeport, Southwest, et al?
