How do I program incremental C(H) and Y(V) axis 4.82 lathe pro

[cmkanefab]

Blessings brotherman i got it looking at your example. Do you find this just as easy as H& V axis g code programing?, Or is this a work around?

Workaround, you have to use what you have....

But I never missed not having incremental moves for C and Y

i will have to learn/ add this type of variable, programming to my old brain i can see repeat indexing stuff by macro is fast and loose just by changing dimensions .... i do love parameterized cad modeling in fusion 360...that also took my old brain a while to learn when i switched from Bobcad ....
Thnks again for your help suntravel may the LORD bless all that you put your hands to!

here is my setup

i started making the pillar out of a heavy cast iron fixture until i dropped it and it cracked along a bolt line......right material poor design if i wanted to dribble the pillar on concrete... next design aluminum ...cast is expensive for some reason ....but sub guide mounts are cast to dampen hoping counter aluminum vibes.....taking small bites chewing well so far...

Cool build

Expanding on the example Uwe posted:

To move the C axis on a lathe incrementally +90 degrees:

Code: Select all

G0 C[#5043 + 90]

some of your posts and especially the detail you provide helped me make the transition to acorn from mach3/4 almost a year ago so i appreciate your help sir!

cncsnw is the #100=#5043 also needed
