[Emc-developers] Instructions to install old versions.

Andy, I agree, they are two separate problems. I just wanted to answer both questions in one place since they came up here. My G15/G16 example is very similar to G28 and G30, but the difference would be that the retract would happen immediately and automatically on abort of a program (vs at a

Very interesting stuff! I have some ideas for how to implement a more EDM-appropriate reverse run mechanism based on what you describe. Here's a short list of new features we would need to address your concerns 1) Retract-to-setpoint-on-abort modal code. If a retract point is set, the machine

g30 g30.1? interesting when combines with retract and i see the intermediate point would be easy ( the rufpoint might be an intermediate point from the cone surface towards the startpoint above the workpiece. i really have to do some drawings :| thx for the reminder about G30 tomp tjtr33 On
