The vertical resizers also toggle snap to common positions if you click them.

On the current version (2.8.1), go to the Settings tab and then choose the 4th Axis Rotary sub-tab in the upper left.

Which 1100 model do you have selected? The exact name will be shown to the right of the path pilot logo near the Exit button on screen.

On the Settings tab, do you have Enclosure Door Switch...

If you're there, pop the lid on the ATC cabinet after pushing in the e-stop button. After unscrewing the e-stop, watch the control board carefully as someone else pushes in the power button. Do you...

The log reveals the firmware update completed successfully and is operating as expected.

There's some later general ATC USB communication errors during a program run, but none of that was changed...

Thanks - see it and reviewing...

Well, it hasn't yet been done because I don't see the zip file to analyze it.... Opening a support ticket is a slightly different indirect path and I can't see that until much later tomorrow.

If...

Plug a USB drive in and click the LOGDATA button on the Status tab. Email the resulting log data zip file to [email protected].

Just minimize anything USB plugged in during the update - including removing the wifi dongle, shuttle, any usb hubs, etc. Keyboard, mouse, and ATC is all you need for this part. Try that, then boot...

The ATC firmware update process is dependent on usb to the control board in ways beyond normal operation. The only usb devices absolutely necessary during the firmware update are the ATC, a mouse,...

There is a maximum spindle rpm with the door open setting. Perhaps you are getting snagged by that?
The 440 is pre-wired for a door switch so you won't see a checkbox on the Settings tab for it,...

Jogging speeds are reduced a bit to try to avoid crashes at full rapids speed. If you want to verify full speed, run a program with G0 or hold down the shift key and then jog.

ADMIN SET_Y_LIMIT is a better route if your ball screw is long enough. MDI auto-completion should show you all of that. Or ADMIN HELP does also.

I just created a 'scratch.nc' file instead.

Whenever I need to whip out a dozen or more gcode lines, the file MRU combo box flips me over to scratch.nc. Then a quick Alt-E brings up gedit on it...

Select the file(s) you want to copy over to the subroutines folder. Use the 'hamburger' menu button (3 horizontal lines) just left of the New Folder button and choose Copy. Then navigate over to...

It basically eliminates the need to mess around with VirtualBox or other virtualizing solutions and trying to keep all that updated. Using a browser to https://hub.pathpilot.com is so much easier.

2.4.0 has automatic parts counters with a lot of flexibility. Check it out.

You don't lose your tool table or work offsets or anything else when you upgrade PathPilot versions. It's all saved and restored properly. Even if you move from PP 1.x to 2.x which involves a quick...

Pretty sure the name just reflects the much smaller form factor with the elimination of the Mesa PCI or PCIe card and the move to ethernet connected machine control vs. the large DB25, difficult to...

All of these work fine in PathPilot for the last 6 months at least. Upgrade (free) to 2.3.6 or later and you'll enjoy them also. The current work offset is shown right above the axis DROs for me....

ADMIN BOOTMENU ON seems to do all the grub stuff for you right from the MDI line.

The (LOG) stuff was fixed relatively recently (PP 2.1+). It always worked, but the resulting file used to end up in a very awkward location. It now is put in the gcode folder as you'd expect. And...

Use (DEBUG, Var1 = #1) and they'll show up on the Status tab. Or use the LOGOPEN, LOGAPPEND, LOG, LOGCLOSE functions and provide your own file name.

Thanks - that's helpful. Perhaps they'll be able to add some of this.

Most use cases I've seen are restarting at the last tool change - which usually has a lot of this already by its nature...

Please clarify the distinction in your mind between "run from here" and "set start line"

I don't see any difference at all.

'Set Start Line' is the actual name of the context menu item.

And newer versions of PathPilot even have that available in a 'hamburger menu' in the upper right which is touch screen friendly...

At least you can now queue the Ref Z and Ref X buttons in lathe like you always could in mill.

Older versions of PathPilot supported the log comment functionality, but the resulting log file was created in a folder on the controllers internal drive that was impossible to view or manipulate...

What version of PathPilot are you running?
