Hi, I've noticed the G76 threading cycle command is no longer supported on the TNGv2 software. That's actually a very convenient feature built into the software so that I don't have to use CAM to output thread gcode every time. Are there any workaround for that? I noticed TNGv2 supports more API and python interface. Has anyone created any customized threading feature interface?

G76 is supported in TNG.

Here is example g-code:

(dlgname,Thread)
(dlg,Position Z, dec=3, def=0, min=-10000, max=10000, setunits, store, param=posz)
(dlg,Position X, dec=3, def=0, min=-10000, max=10000, setunits, store, param=posx)
(dlg,Length, dec=3, def='setunit(-20,-1);', min=-1000, max=1000, setunits, store, param=length)
(dlg,Pitch, dec=2, def='setunit(2.5,0.1);', min='setunit(0.25,0.01);', max='setunit(6,0.25);', setunits, store, param=pitch)
(dlg,Cut Depth, dec=3, def='setunit(0.1,0.005);', min=0, max=1000, setunits, store, param=cutdepth)
(dlgshow)
         
#<depth>              = [0.614 * #<pitch>]
#<offset>             = 0
#<degression>         = 1
#<compoundslideangle> = 29.5
#<springpasses>       = 1 ;Number of finishing passes
#<taper>              = 2 ;0=None, 1=Entry, 2=Exit, 3=Entry+Exit
#<taperangle>         = 45
#<taperdistance>      = [TAN[#<taperangle>] * #<depth>]

Yes, I saw this in the generate-thread tab. However, when I try to use it, it shows this error message.

Do you have old software version?

[topgraver]

No, currently I'm using the TNGv2 on the planetcnc website. If you have older version that works, please let me know the download link and I can have a try. Thanks.
