    Feature Request

    Hi Scott,
    See if you think this is possible for a fixed/ optional feature. In the plot window when stepping the current position in plot shows X,Y & Z positions in graphics, could you maybe add T,S & F would make easy to check for rogue speeds etc. Please see attatched image.
    Thanks...ncplot has saved my bacon more than once...lol:cheers:
    Keith.

    Scott,

    can you fix instant backplott check? let's said if I type in codes and the graph will not show untill I save it and reload program again.
    The best way to learn is trial error.

    There are a few ways to update the graphics display, you can click the refresh button on the plot toolbar, you can press the 'F9' key which is a shortcut to the menu 'Draw / Refresh Plot'. You can also check the menu 'Draw / Auto refresh viewport' which automatically updates the graphics after edits are made.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I'm still working on this one... I'm trying to find a way to store all of the modal information for each block of the program. Once I do that I'll probably add a dockable 'modal information' window like the entity info window.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Not to twist your brain too much Scott, but a Turn-Mill back plot would be great.

    There are a lot of shops buying Turn_Mill Lathes and the programming gets involved when you have a full Y-Axis and C-Axis.

    For right now I am using a combination of the Lathe and Mill Machine Configurations.

    To give you an idea, see pic.
