I discover out what is the problem with version 4.1.10
Whoever installs it for the first time, the Bug appears.

See --> C:\ProgramData\GrblGru

Sorry, I immediately uploaded version V4.1.11 yesterday after noticing the error.

@Yvzylmz
Maybe you try it again

[Yvzylmz]

Now codes are perfect for the cnc lathe thanks for your effort

[GrblGru]

@Yvzylmz
I am glad that it works now. Thanks for your help.

@erdinc_eroglu
I have created in the new version V4.1.12 a new machine type and the machine "ERTEV".
GrblGru can currently communicate with the following Operating system: GRBL, TinyG and Mega-5x.
I do not know which one you use.

hi GrblGru, thank you for the CAM and 3D-Simulation.
I'm exploring your software and I really liked what I'm seeing, I came across a question, how do I simulate a loaded external gcode. if this is not the place for these issues forgive me. Thank you!

Hi:

Incredible job, Mr TOE, hats off to you.

I've been waiting for the visualisation to show the finished article after machining.

Here's a simple rectangle -> cut slot job. Obviously I'm getting something wrong, but what?

Hints and suggestions appreciated.

Robin.

@RobinMorritt
hi man,
try to disable the option where the red circle is, and its visualization will be different, and to see the trajectory activate NC (green) beside it.

[RobinMorritt]

Thank you, ASouza. That's all I need, and it's nice to know that we both get the same thing.
The feature I'm referring to is the one in the video "GrblGru: 3D Workpiece PreView" way back in May 2016. As I say, I don't need it, but it is rather pretty. As I'm trying to learn the subject, I'm picking my way through old, interesting looking videos and wondered if I was doing something wrong.
Appreciate the response.
Robin.

@RobinMorritt
which version you are using, maybe only in version 3.49, old version it is possible to have this view.
look at this video, note, it’s from the year 2020, note in the video which version it uses. I think that must be it.

@ASouza
V4.1.12 at present. I reinstalled V3.50.0 ... and you're right.
Mystery solved. Thanks.

[GrblGru]

I have just uploaded the version V4.1.13. Hope this should fix the error in the PreView.

Thanks for your feedback

GrblGru V4.1.13 rocks.
So pretty. Thank you.

Hello.
I am new to this forum. I just saw your video on Youtube concerning the unimat lathe.
I own the same unimat lathe.
Will it be possible to have the DXF file for this tour. I can't find it.
I am told it has been deleted.
Thank you in advance for your answer and your help.

Thank you very much Ertev counter has been very nice for us.

Great!, now its working fine. Full properties are being copied on one job (including entry point). A step further can be individual active / passive for copies.

FYI Attached an image with some drawing mismatch between original path and tool path, after going between 3D an 2D tabs. After some fiddling it fixed itself, as I did not expect, I do not remember exactly what I did.

Thanks

Hi @GrblGru,

Using 4.1.13, just found that after going home is keeping z= 5mm, seems to be height of clearance plane of selected job. Please check. Thanks.

[RobinMorritt]

Beginner here ... but ... I find homing very confusing.

Toolbar icon - Start Homing.
Toolbar icon - Start Homing - Shift = Moving to the user's home position.
Actual Work Position - "Origin" button.
Actual Work Position - "Home" icon in the jogging control.

I don't understand what these are all for, but so long as the "Stock" values for Bounding, V-Offset and Thickness are zero, then I always have to click the "Origin" button after Homing to get to the Z = 0 position.

I thought the purpose of the "Origin" button was to set the origin to the current position. However, it treats of the Z axis is a Homing action.

@Contrebasse52
I don't know which DXF file you mean.
But when you run the installation, automatically in the folder C:\ProgramData\GrblGru\ExampleData
several sample files ( DXF, SVG, SVG, NC etc. ) will be created.
If you don't find them in there, please tell me which video you watched.


@jcorona
When the "Home" button is pressed, it is lifted out to safety level and then moved to the local origin.
For safety reasons, however, 5mm is lifted in any case. E.g. if the safety height was not entered.


@RobinMorritt
I admit that it might be a little confusing at the beginning.

So I'll try to explain what I was thinking.

First, there is the difference between the Machine Coordinate System and the Local Coordinate System.
The button "Homing" in the toolbar serves to move to the origin of the machine coordinate system, which is determined by the position of the limit switches.
However, homing is not absolutely necessary for operation if you do not want to move to absolute coordinates.
That's why I used the button in the toolbar for other things for the simulation mode.

Now to the setting of the origin of the local coordinate system. As you said correctly, the "Origin" key is responsible for this.
But we distinguish whether we are in real mode or in simulation mode.

In simulation mode:
Here, the acceptance of the accurate position applies only to X and Y. The Z-axis is positioned in such a way that the tip of the tool is at the position
which is determined by "Thickness" and "V-Offset". For example, let "Thickness" = 20mm, "Offset" be 0mm.
All axis display will be set to 0.

In real operation:
Here you clamp e.g. a 20mm thick wooden board, move the Z-axis down until the tool touches the board.
Then you press the "Origin" key. All axis display will be set to 0.

At this point, the situation in the virtual space on the screen matches the real machine.
So the whole thing is just to bring the virtual model into the same position as the real machine.
And this in a way as simple as possible.

[RobinMorritt]

Thank you so much for such an extensive explanation, Mr T. I've filed the text for reference. Fair play.

[Dialog69]

Hello. Can you tell me what is the reason? Everything works correctly in V3.49. In version V4.1, V4.13, there is no movement along the axes when threading, neither in work nor in simulation.
