Hello all, I been using Alphacam with Mach3 PP successively for some time . I use the 2010 screenset with Mach3 and 1 of the great features that comes with it is the ATC macro. I'm attempting to tweak/edit my PP so all works smoother together. I generated some Gcode from Alphacam using 3 different tools to help explain 2 things I'm trying to achieve.
The first I THINK I already accomplished... I removed the last line "G91 G28 Y0 Z0" in all operations except the last and replaced it with M5. I'm no programmer so hoping some1 could tell me if this could be a problem. I ran the code successively but held hand on Estop button the whole time.
The second thing is to remove the M6 in the first operation. It seems like anything I do in the PP doesn't stop the M6 from being written in any of the operations no less just 1. Is this possible to do without some complicated sub routine or at all?
Any info would be extremely appreciated.
