If there is going to be Abs/Inc entry, there needs to be a visual indication of the current mode. Needless to say, this should *not* be tied to the similar entry mode selection over on the Offset Library screen, in the Lathe software. As far as lathe/mill WCS tables are concerned let's KISS. Do not...

As far as G65 functionality. In Fanuc and Haas any G65 argument that is not explicitly passed is assigned to be "not-a-number" or "null" instead of "zero" like Centroid. This allows the macro to test the argument for example: IF [ #7 NE #0] GOTO100 #7= 2. (assign a defa...

What is the functional or operational benefit of "clearing" all the WCS locations? For the typical user, does that functional benefit outweigh the undesirable consequences of making it very easy to undo all of your WCS-setting work? If there are several WCS that are non-zero the operator ...

As far as G31 functionality I would like it to "store" skip position on the fly instead of having to touch and back-off of the part and since the probe input is specified in the parameters you would not need to use the "Pxxx" argument.

Not sure what to say, but it does. Are you using proximity sensors to home the machine upon start up?

Trust me, CNC12 can do everything SB3 could even think of, and then some,,,,,

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I'm not talking about homing the machine.

These are some software mods that would be awfully nice to have. I don't know if any of these are in the latest version: Mill/Lathe: Allow incremental/absolute entries in the WCS tables currently only allows absolute entries Mill: Have wear values for tool lengths (diametrical wear would also be nic...

Is there a way to test macro arguments to see if they are present? In Haas if I call "G65 P100 A1 B2" I can check in the macro if the argument is or is not present by testing it against #0 (which is not-a-number) O100 (macro) (test for argument 1) if [#1 NE #0] GOTO1 #3000 = 1 (argument #1...

Maybe a persistant MDI program like Haas does would be nice.

Yeah, I didn't think of that.

Support for local subroutines (M97) would be really nice.

It would be nice to have user comments posted independent of Intercon generated comments.
