Thanks, but no. I still want to just end the program where it sets the stop button so to speak, without jacking with my offsets, and restoring manual control.
And without me having to save my offsets, and then restore them at the beginning of the file. With the method that Ray described with G92.2 and G92.3, its still several un-necessary steps I think. I mean, what if it is the first time you run the program? Would you have to set the offsets with G92 in MDI and then save with G92.2 in MDI, then place G92.3 at the beginning of every file? It'd be less tedious if I could just end the program, leave my offsets as they were, jog the head out of the way (without having to hit the stop button first), swap the stock, then hit start again. I could write the routine into the postprocessor to do what I need (maybe), but I use the same CAM software for different purposes where the retract vector is different depending on which machine and which operation. Let me also point out I have been a long time user of EMC (love it!), but I just recently started using home switches and I am searching for their usefulness. Previously without home switches, I just zeroed off of a part, and never had to jack with offsets. At this point, they make no sense and are cumbersome to have. I am hoping that there's just some connection I am not making and it will all of a sudden make sense once I get that clue that connects the dots. >Len -----Original Message----- From: Chris Radek [mailto:ch...@timeguy.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:52 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] end of program On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 08:23:38PM -0600, Len Shelton wrote: > I pulled M60 from this documentation: > http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode_main.html#sub:M0,-M1,-M2, Oh! My mistake - I was trying G60 instead of M60. Have any of the answers given you a solution to the original problem?
