Edge Probing

One, I'm not a programmer. I could write an AutoCad macro, but not a stand alone app to do it. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now. Perhaps in a few months

An update. There are now new versions of probe25D.tap and M90000.m1s which appear at the moment to get over the problems that some users have experienced. Many thanks to Nelson who has steadfastly stuck with the testing. For those that already have the routines, just download probe.zip from the usual place, unpack and copy the above two files over your originals - no need to re-install the .dll. IMPORTANT: On Mach's main menu, select Config/General Config.. and TICK Ignore M calls while loading - before loading probe25D.tap. Otherwise it won't work. A re-read of the updated readme can't hurt.

Cheers

Hi Rich

No - probe25D.tap is nothing to do with the Artsoft plugins. It's (one) part of the suite of routines I wrote in an attempt to address what I saw as a shortfall in Mach3 probing. (Note you need the supporting stuff as well - probe25D.tap won't work on its own).

Cheers

Ian
