I know you guys will find this really hard to believe, but sometimes I screw up!!!! Here is my question, is there a fast way to get back to a line in a file. ...
I have edited the file up to the point I want to re-join the program. it would be nice to have a step-thru option, but without it, we must be more careful. A...
Yeah I sure could'a used a feature like that last night. The ability to scroll through the file and start at selected point. I had to sit for 25 minutes while...

That's why I have edited the file and skipped all the work done to get to the new work. M60 at the start to jump to the line number. Since at this point, I...
I suppose what we really want is the equivalent of a compilers RUN IDE functions. We could have: Breakpoint (ie stop here and wait for instructions) Run from...
Assuming you can get back to the line in question... Just make sure you MDI any offsets or other information that the part program needs, also, if you need to...
... Using absolute coordinates means that each command does not depend on where the tool was after the last command. So if 10 lines into your program your tool...
It looks like I hit a nerve, about the simple file scrolling. Lets hear from the experts, is this something that could be implemented? Dont delay V4, but I...

I've built a UCN5894B interface to an old printer belt drive axis. I can jog it manually by grounding the step pin, but I can't seem to get turbocnc to drive...
Hi, I am doing exactly the same: HF Minimill Z axis belt driven into the vernier dial. I solved my backlash problem completely by removing the torsion arm....
That sounds like a good solution to the worst of the problem. I might try that if I can't figure out how to get the software to actually write backlash values...
Hi, Unfortunately, software backlash compensation, however accurate, does not cure the whole problem. Think of a perfectly balanced millhead (With an overhead...
I've realized the problems with full counterbalance and trying to "fix" backlash by programming against it. The way I'm using the mill lately is fairly...
