    G52 offsets not shown in mach3 screen

    Hi! I’m still learning gcode and cnc and I’m using Mach3 wizards for my small jobs.

    I’m doing a series of grooves in a part, and I edited a wizard generated code, aleays in the same X dimensions, but I change only the z value for each groove. So I use G52 to each offset and I copy and paste always the same code for each groove, only change the g52 value for Z.

    It works normally, but in the mach3 screen, only one groove is drawn, not the series of grooves, side by side. As all grooves were made over each other. Is there a way to fix it so all my grooves are shown on the screen?

    Thanks

    No, it's a bug in Mach3.

    +1 to Gerry.
    It is annoying of course, but the actual cutter path is OK.

    Cheers

    Same thing happens with work offsets, if I recall correctly.
