A number of users on the forum are using D Rogge's "Fanuc style lathe toolchange" patch. Details here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3539522&group_id=6744&atid=356744 There seems to be a strong opinion from them that it is a Good Thing.
I am not quite so sure. Having two such very different behaviours feels somewhat wrong. It is troublesome for them to keep their installations up-to-date. A further complication is that the patch file no longer applies, as the "index" variable in that section of code was recently changed to "pocket_number" The feature is enabled by a feature mask in the INI (I would prefer to see it set by a conventional tag, perhaps [RS274NGC]NO_LONGER_RS274NGC_ACTUALLY_A_LITTLE_BIT_FANUC ) The demand is there, and it doesn't change anything unless explicitly enabled, so I think, on balance, it ought to be incorporated. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel(R) Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
