    Can't find an answer to this and haven't tried on my own yet so i figured I'd ask first.
    If I'm using a touch probe in my spindle, can I probe the surface, then put in a tool and cut?
    Would I zero my probe to the surface, then probe with all offsets set to 0, then "save as probe only"?
    Then zero my tool to the same spot as the probe, and run the file saved from the "probe only"?

    I generate the probe file using different software but that sounds right. I move the probe to XY origin and set Z0 at the probe trip position
    Then zero my tool to the same spot as the probe, and run the file saved from the "probe only"?
    Yes, using a common XY origin this should work.

    Something still missing.
    I open a file, set all parameters, click step B in your pic and it is looking to Open another file... What file?
    My save gcode adjusted is not available either. Guessing because step B isn't completed yet?

    At step B it wants a probe data file.
    Here's a nonsense example
    The gcode file: (A)
    Code:
    G00 X0 Y0
    G01 X0 Y0 Z0 F100
    X4
    Y4
    X0
    Y0
    M2
    The probe data: (B)
    Code:
    0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
    4.000000 0.000000 1.000000
    4.000000 4.000000 1.000000
    0.000000 4.000000 0.000000
    The gcode file modified by gcode-ripper: (C)
    Code:
    ( G-Code Modified by G-Code Ripper                        )

    As I mentioned earlier I'm not using gcode-ripper to generate the probe data file, so I can't explain that part.
    Scorch will probably reply soon if he's still getting email notifications of this thread.

    Okay, taking a quick look at things creating the probe data file should be straight forward if using Mach or linuxcnc.
    Open the gcode file and then set a few parameters on the right side of the screen.
    Click on 'Save Gcode File - Probe Only'. This will create the gcode program used to run the probe routine.
    After the probe program has run it will spit out a text file with the probe data. Or at least that's the way it would work using linuxcnc. Mach is probably much the same.

    Yeah, I kinda came to that conclusion but haven't tried it yet. Seems like that would be the answer though.
    I assume, run the autoprobe, save "probe only", run your example with the "probe only" file opened in step B.
    Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try soon hopefully.

    First of all, thank you very much for this wonderful software.
    One question:
    In G-Code_Ripper_0.18_win, the file "ProbeOnly" gives me an error in Mach3.
    "Unknown operation, Block = # 499 = [# 500 GE # 499 * ...
    In G-Code_Ripper-0.17_win, don't give me that error.

    If you are using GRBL as controller, download UGS Platform, it has autoleveler probing

    In V0.18 I had some g-code that work with LinuxCNC but MACH can not handle. I fixed it in V0.19 so that the code that MACH cannot use is replaced with something simpler when MACH is selected.

    @scorch:
    please split the option "Scale XY" into "Scale X" and "Scale Y"
    I have had the situation when there was need to scale only Y axis and I had to manually merge two files (after scaling XY), or maybe there is a way to do this?
    The Sw is great but helpless in that cases.
    Thank You

    I can't make the vertical split from a piece 83 mm wide and 1000 mm high in 5 pieces of 83 mm by 200 mm. where am I wrong?
