Hello there.
I measured by backlash and it is about 0.007 mm. So I tried to compensate it in Mach 3. Backlash movement (0.007 mm) works but that movement counts in DRO while moving for example X axis.
Shouldnt backlash movement be ignored in DRO, in other words: backlash distance shouldnt be calculated in DRO right? So no matter how much backlash distance I enter in backlash settings, the exact backlash is still present. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

What is happening in DRO: I zero X axis then send Gcode G1 X1, and it moves 0.007 mm (backlash distance) and then 0.993 mm, so that is 1mm. Total is 0.007 + 0.993 = 1 mm.
I thought that it should move 0.007mm which wont be shown in DRO and then when backlash is passed it should move 1mm which is shown in DRO. Total should be 0.007 + 1mm = 1.007 mm; or am I wrong?

Thank you
M
