Run from here.
I have just started using the Acorn 12 on a mill gantry. Being accustomed to Mach 3 I am really missing having a return to 0 function and more so the run from here function. Being that the outside profile is usually the last part of machining a part, I like to have the piece mounted and then run cutting air over the part before committing to cutting. The run from here function is really helpful for quick checking and making adjustments. Are there any already made macros to download or purchase for these type of functions?
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Run from here.
"Return to 0", do you mean GOTO WCS XY0 (button on VCP)?
Check out chapter 6 of the operators manual on "Running a Job", and in particular, the Run Menu/Search & Run.

Re: Run from here.
If you want Aircutting over the part simply adjust Z in G54, could be done with a macro back and forth also.

Re: Run from here.
This M55 macro switch G54 10 units up or down each time it is called..
Uwe
Code: Select all
#100=#2700
#151=10
IF #150==1 Then GOTO100 ELSE GOTO50
N50
#2700=[#100+#151]
#150=1
GOTO1000
N100
#152=-10
#2700=[#2700+#152]
#102=#2700
#150=0
N1000
M30

Re: Run from here.
Been a while, but if I remember correctly, Mach3 had a button called "Z Inhibit". That was handy for air cutting, as it would leave the Z axis whereit was pre-positioned while running the file.

Re: Run from here.
"Run from here" or "Start at line #" or "Run from line #" would be fantastic.
I recently did a 3d carving that could've used that for.
Instead I manually edited my gcode file to "Run from Here" by deleting all the code before my "here" was.
Not optimal in a file with 10,000 lines.
