    Default In PP V1.9.11, converstational threading issues

    I recently upgraded to PP V1.9.11 from 1.8 and now I am having issues with conversational threading.

    My threading tool is on a quick change tool post so all the X diameters are negative, but what happens is that the X movement is backwards, the retract is toward the part and the threading is away from it.

    I am pretty sure my tool is setup the same as when it worked in the past. But then there is a good chance I am doing something wonky. The tool Orientation is set to 8, which is correct.


    Code:
    (External Threading G-code generated:)
    (   Thu Jun 22 00:06:32 2017)
    (PathPilot Version: 1.9.1)
    (Description = Bthread1)
    
    (Units = G20 inches)
    (Work Offset = G54)
    
    (Tool Number = 5)
    (Tool Type = ftp_thread)
    (Tool Orientation = 8)
    
    (Spindle RPM =  250.0)
    
    (Z Start Location = 0.0000)
    (Z End Location = -0.3500)
    (Thread Direction = Right Hand)
    (Inside Diameter = -1.0400)
    (Outside Diameter = -1.1120)
    (Taper [incl. lead in/out] = 0.0000)
    
    (Thread Length = 0.3500)
    (Pitch = 0.0500 inches/thread)
    (Threads per inch = 20.00)
    (Depth of Cut = 0.0200)
    (Thread Lead = 0.1)
    (Tool Clearance = 0.1)
    (Number of passes = 13)
    (Tool on - side)

    Tormach sent me a note that this is a known issue and they are working on a fix that will come out in the next few days.

    I just tried updating today and almost wrecked my tools. I'm lucky after the update and restoring my tool settings all my stuff was off by about a half inch, why? Who knows? This really sucks, I've seen that you guys have notified tormach over 4 months ago and they still haven't dealt with the problems. That really makes me sad.

    What do you mean "PathPilot simulator" I thought it wouldn't run w/o the mesa card?

    That's incredibly useful.

    I have a VirtualBox setup for running some old software that needs XP. I'll have to create an instance for this as well. Did you just create a LinuxVM and boot from your PathPilot CD? I can create a couple, one for my mill and another for the lathe.

    It's always a great day when you learn about something that will make life much easier. I don't like standing there writing conversational code.
