Errors in CNC Programming Help File.

[MAX THE MILLER]

The example help file for the cutter compensation commands G40, G41 and G42 doesn't contain a G40 command. I tried to modify the example programme to suit my own requirements and couldn't work out why I kept getting an error message. Inserting a G40 command cured this.

Also line 0030 appears to be wrong as it doesn't fit the drawing. It should probably be something like N0030Y50.

I think it would assist other customers if the file were corrected in a future software release

Hi,

What size cutter were you using in the project?

[MAX THE MILLER]

I am using a 3mm dia slot drill.

I've attached a copy of the fnc file which causes the error. It's possible to avoid the error by inserting a G40 command.

This is a problem with the Help File, which doesn't state the need for a G40 command, rather than with the software.

I've also noticed.

1. Double clicking the 2D/3D button gives a "catastrophic error" message.

2. If the 'i' (information) button is clicked, it opens an information window, but I can't find any way to close it.

[Steve]

to close the info button just click the blue i icon again.

Will look at the other issues

Clicking the info button to close the info works fine if there no error present. However if I try it after the .fnc file (attached to an earlier post) has been run in 2D simulation and returned an error the software locks up and I have to use Task Manager to close it.
