Re: Intercon - Incremental Programming for 'Contouring for DXF'

Tks Keith. Copy (and paste) approach I have already experimented. Meanwhile I had explored the historic communications on the forum on the subject of Import DXF. I understand from some posts that current Acorn versions (including Acorn with Pro License) - the Import DXF (F8) - option is not availabl...

Intercon - Incremental Programming for 'Contouring for DXF'

In the Intercon, I am able to go to CAM - FILE - New - Give File Name - Other F6 - Import DXF (say for a simple rectangle), etc. and construct and modify the program without any difficulties. What I wish is the Program thus created by importing DXF be Incremental rather than absolute so that copy an...

Refer 10.7.6 F6-Other and further F6 for M&G Code (image enclosed).....
Wish to know whether Intercon can accept Customized M codes - supported by mfuncxx.mac files - in the intercon program?

"Search Fail" after Tool Check

I have been able to experiment with toolcheck and subsequent cycle start for searching and resuming the current block from its beginning. Have seen this working well on two controllers already. However the current controller is giving an alarm 332 - Search Failed - Run/Search was unable to find the ...

Re: How the Aux Key Triggered Macros behave when Part Program is running

Hello @cncsnw .... thanks for your detailed response which certainly exceeded expectations and pointed out the exact missing link in my communication that the latest Z motion was indeed indeterminate and probing type. Your answer is comprehensive and actionable. I had tried many things (around the t...

How the Aux Key Triggered Macros behave when Part Program is running

1. If the prat program is running in terms of say axis motions, will the Aux Key based simple Macro consisting of simple M94/M95 commands have its effect? e.g. start stop chip conveyor manually (this is only an academic example. The obvious correct approach is put this in PLC..... :roll: ). Will the...
