Thanks for the replies everyone,
Jerry, I am posting the code for your eval. I do not have a tool changer so I have to load each file individually in Mach 3. It is when I load the code file that has the graphic that I have the visual offset the most in the display window.
Jay, Hopefully you can create the problem I have been having. This happens in all my projects with multiple tools/cuts.
You are correct in your assumption of steps I am taking when creating/saving and loading files... I create a VCW .crv file that has multiple cuts and tools. I load each saved file individually into Mach 3 to cut and notice visual offsets within the display window most notably within the code that contains the graphic.
I was told by Tony early within this post that the visual offset within the Mach 3 display window does not affect the cut or tool path... but there is something reassuring in seeing the toolpath being displayed properly.
I am using a work offset although this visual offset appears in the display window improperly whether I am using this offset or loading from home position.
The post processor I am using was sent by Tony at Vcarve and is a .txt file.
I am changing tools between files but to be honest I have not procedded with the files that are offset visually. I guess I could try to proceed with one hand on the E-stop
I had hoped for some feedback on this problem within the Vcarve section but it seems? my post has been deleted :frown:
Thanks for any help you guys may be able to give me on this
Chris
