Re: Path Rules and Code Snippets

Any idea how I can do that with the path rules "On Small Shapes" and "On Small Circles" so if I wanted a code snippet before M3 and after M5, it would do it automatically. Keith Keith My approach to this was to add a text box which to define a custom tool parameter and then use ...

Re: Router bit raises instead of lowers

check all your axis are moving in the right direction.....

normally z+ is upward and z- is downward

X+ is to your right
X- is to your left
Y+ is away from you
Y- is towards you

Re: Post Processor Help

you probably want to post a copy of the post processor you are actually using (especially if you have modified something)

and finally does planet CNC have a setting to do something such as a safe retract at the end of the file run.....

suggest post links to whatever and all planet CNC files
