Overlapping outlines?
This message means that some lines in the drawing are duplicated. If you are converting a 3D shape it is quite likely for this to happen. One example is if you have drawn a vertical square face. The top and bottom of the face will probably both get exported as lines with the same coordinates. Duplic...

Re: G28.1 problems THC300 setup Mach3
Hi Erik, Messing about with Mach's xml file is potentially dangerous. However, thinking about it, you can set variables with G-code. You can also read those variables from Mach macros. It would be possible to set a bunch of variables then trigger a custom M-code macro to transfer those variables to ...

Re: G28.1 problems THC300 setup Mach3
Hi Erik, The pierce height is hard-coded. You have two options: 1) Take all Z moves out of the post. Mach must then control the Z axis. To do this you need to modify the M5 macro to move the Z to clearance height. You also need to set up the init string to move Z to clearance height. To do this, loo...

Re: G28.1 problems THC300 setup Mach3
Hi Tom, i respectfully disagree on the Z home issue. Homes define a specific known location. On pretty much every CNC machine I have worked on, homes are used to establish the machine's absolute position(machine coordinates). Most commercial machines will not let you do much until you have reference...

Re: G28.1 problems THC300 setup Mach3
I have to admit I also think probe is better than home. Home should be for the machine's physical limits, not the position of the work. Probably very few people bother to use soft-limits. Without soft-limits it doesn't really matter where the Z home is. ISTR that the earlier THC posts did use probe ...
