Making a test cut this morning. Fired up everything as usual, tried to load the file in Mach, and it's hanging up while loading. Restart Mach. Same problem. Reboot computer, tried re-loading. Same thing. Tried the file I most recently cut...hanging up as well, also at G00 code. In both programs, the line before is a G92 code. It's the code raising the torch to pierce height, after touch off.
G92 Z0.0
G00 Z0.150
The issue seems to be caused by choosing "torch off on Arc Loss" in the DTHC setting in Mach. Uncheck that, and it works fine. I *thought* I had this checked during my last cut (ie, no changes since last successful cut), but perhaps I'm wrong.
Anyone know why this would be causing the problem? I tried loading with "ignore M calls while loading" checked in general config, but same issue.
For now, I've just unchecked the "torch off on arc loss" box, and all is well.
Mach3 hanging at file load on G00 code? DTHCIV setting?
Mach3 and Mach4 questions, tips and topics can be posted here
