Of course, for Probing and tool height related activities (shortly to include Tool Library import facilities), you could always use Swissi's ProbeApp instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

Re: Pro vs Ultimate, MPG questions...
No, its not the only difference. Although you can calculate CSR with the Pro licence, I believe you will need the Ultimate licence to automatically use that in machining your parts.

Re: Enable outputs on Acorn
If you have a properly configured E-Stop, this will already do the job or am I missing something?

Re: why is my origin inverted?
Hi, thanks for the reply, my axis are correct x+ goes to the right, y+ goes towards the machine and z+ upwards I made an intercon program and milled out a part successfully but all the while it was going backwards on the centroid graphics.... Almost certain that your axes are incorrect as Tom sugge...

Did you remember to manually copy your mfunc18.mac from v5.08 to v5.10?

Re: A few problems I need help with
I think Terry is confusing what appears in the Program List when he clicks Windows Start. They are 2 separate Programs but CNC12 when started will automatically start the VCP. If this is not the case, please post a current REPORT.ZIP that Shawn has already requested above. This contains detailed inf...

Re: Newbie Intercon question
If I understand your request and ignoring the DXF part, this needs just one main Intercon command with a choice of 2 - Either Bore Array or Drill Array. Assuming your 105 holes are split 7 rows in Y Axis and 15 rows on X axis, you enter Bore or Drill Array and enter increments of nn inches (or mm) f...

Re: CNC12 v5.1 Release Candidate #2 is now available.
Is it possible that this issue has crept back in? I am not able to get TT or probing to work as it used to, and it seems to be acting similar the the linked post. Parameter 404 is set, but it makes no difference this time. Auto Z to plate does not stop upon touch. The input for TT does trip in the ...

Re: Rigid Tapping Setup
Richard, pending your "crossed fingers" it might be worthwhile reviewing the thread on my router where Marc Leonard helped me enormously from start to a very satisfactory finish
