Better than a screenshot. I just signed up for "PathPilot Hub" This lets you interact with an online simulated machine. I can make a part and see how the machine will cut it. If I like the result and if I own a real PathPilot machine than after trying it in the online simulation I can move the code to my milling machine. I have zero experience with this but it looks like this is used for students taking PathPilot classes. The other use for this might be if you need to program your mill but the mill is cutting a part now. Using the on-line version allows you to program the mill while it is working. This could be a huge time safer The above is everything I know, the real info is at the link below https://tormach.com/pathpilot-cnc-controller -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
