bruce, hello! you need to read this..

OK, I deserved that......

Some time today I will restart from scratch, just like I first got everything. I will do everything I need to do to get at least Y axis to move and will measure how far it goes under various settings to get things right....

Cheers
Bruce

Marty - you asked me to post the report for the 4.14 install that was crashing with my M3 macro. I've attached it here and checked that it had my modified M3 macro. As I said, it killed the CNC12 program totally and dumped me back on the desktop when trying to start the spindle initially in low range but with a high set speed, which would require the macro to change back to high ratio. Replacing it with the default M3 macro has my 4.14 installation running sweet.

I loaded and ran your M3 and indeed it crashed CNC12. 4.14. You say the very same M3 or M4 works in 4.12 correct?
We'll look into it.

Yes, I tested this out thoroughly in 4.12 before doing the update to double check it was working, as Keith warned that existing macros might not work with 4.14. Auto range selection was working fine in 4.12. After the update, I copied the M3 macro across and that killed it every time.

Would be nice to get the auto range selection working again but it's not something I expect to need much. However, you probably want to understand how a macro is able to kill the program so finally in the middle of a program.

Just did the update to 4.14

And after when i tried and start the program the virtual control panel wont show.

I have rebooter several times, both acorn and cnc12. At the moment the setting are as the program comes.
I also tried loading a backup file with my setting, and that did not work either. But i can always do the settings manually.

I have checked so windows is not interfering and that shouldnt be the problem.

Any tips?
