One of the things that makes it difficult is that because I have never been able to make cool radii compensation work so that the backplot shows a line where the actual cutting edge of the tool travels, I have been forced to make my code do its own compensation. This works, but the backplot is wrong, showing a very skinny slot because it traces the center of the tool and not the cutting edges path. Any time I have tried to do the cutter comp stuff, I get a message that there is not enough room between the moves to do it, even if the tool is a .0312" dia tool, and the entry move in air is better than a damned inch! This example works for me. It cuts the inside of a 1" square with 0.25 diameter tool. g20g40 g0x1.2y1.25z0.25 g41.1 d0.25 g1x1.4y1.0z0f50 x2y1 x2y2 x1y2 x1y1 x1.6y1 g40x1.8y1.25z0.25 But the backplot in Axis still only shows the center of the toolpath (a .75" square), not the coordinates programed in the g-code (the outside of the 1" square). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
