Do not use “restore report” using a report from an earlier version.

pensez vous un jour ajouter les fonction Fz et VC dans l'intercom et donc le nombre de dents dans le tableau outil ?
Do you think one day adding the Fz and VC functions in the intercom and therefore the number of teeth in the tool table ?

I just updated to cnc V5.20
everything is fine, but the tool library is not automatically copied. it seemed to me that this was the case since V4.08.
I copied it manually.
Thank you for all these developments.

Hi there, thanks! Yeah the tool library has never been automatically copied.

It's up to the user to copy over the work coordinates tool library offset library. Any custom macros, Any custom vcp as usual.

We're working on a wizard interface that would allow you to pick and choose what you would like to copy over from a older version.

Glad you decided to update. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Oh I thought that was the case, as that was what you were saying in the video where you showed how to transfer the tool library. You said that since V4.18 there was no longer any need to follow this video.

Today I have a problem with cnc12 v5.20

Keyboard jogging does not work even after activating with alt+J and in MDI no matter what I write whether it is to move an axis or activate or deactivate the spindle, nothing works.

with the VCP or the MPG remote everything seems to work correctly

I am attaching a report

a safety feature for keyboard jogging has been added to v5.20, covered in the release notes.
press CTRL to let CNC12 know that the PC keyboard arrows keys, pg up, pg dn and 1,3,7,9 are going to send the jog command.
see the keyboard legend that CNC12 displays as well.
Note: this is a PLC program change. (not a change to CNC12 itself) the PLC program is human readable and there is extensive documentation provided by Centroid on how to customize your PLC program.

ok thank you keith.

And the problem with MDI mode? why is this not happening?
