I finally got around to playing with it yesterday, for a full day.
Here's a couple of things that bugged me:
1. When checking a new program, and scrolling thru the lines, PathPilot doesn't "plot" the moves on the display. MACH would display every move, line by line. I used to watch the moves, to know my program was going where it was supposed to go.
2. The on-screen editor needs some tweaking. I edited a program, renamed the file, saved it, but when I closed the editor, it vanished! It wasn't in my catalog anywhere. I was pissed!! I don't know if I did something wrong, or what. But in MACH, an edited program would automatically be loaded after editing.
3. Where can I speed up the G00 Rapid move? Parameters somewhere?
Just a few minor gripes.
Overall, I think PathPilot is great software. From what I hear, it doesn't have the famous Glitches that MACH has. Yay!!
