PP 2.0 - Displaying an image
G'day guys,
One of the features that I used quite a lot (with PP 1.9x) was the M00 (image.jpg) on the comment line, to remind me to do certain things.
I can't seem to get it working under PP 2.0
I tried the M01 and I tried putting the image in the same directory as the NC file.... no luck.
The operation will pause, but it won't display the image.
Anyone else having this problem?

Post the code or the spot +/- about 15 lines. Maybe we can spot/suggest changes.
It's a little touchy, but I know they're working on making it completely solid when I last sent in one to them.
Blank lines above/below the M00 or M01 line can sometimes throw it off.
You may need to sprinkle in some harmless tiny motion command right before the M00 or M01 line (bump a harmless axis by a few thou for example).

Thanks for the reply.Originally Posted by old-cnc-geek
I had this working before, with PP 1.9X. The only thing I've changed is, that I was working with VCarve Pro and now I'm using Fusion 360.
I already know the trick with folder names (images, as opposed to Images).
I was using: M00 (filename.jpg)
I did try M01, but that didn't work for me at all.
Here's a simple NC file from Fusion... It doesn't seem to matter where I place the code, it doesn't work.
Any help would really be appreciated.

Re: PP 2.0 - Displaying an image
I don't see either M00 or M01 in your sample code.
Re: PP 2.0 - Displaying an image
Hi Ken,
Yes, you're right... the presumption is/was that someone would have an idea of where to add the code.
I've tried every position, in the first 5-6 lines and I can't get it to work.

Try this. A bit annoying that you need two, but it worked for me. test.png can be right in the root of the home folder - that's where I had it along with your test file.

Re: PP 2.0 - Displaying an image
Thanks for that and you're right, it did work!
It actually still works if you create a sub directory (called images) and put the images in there.
I also discovered that Fusion has provision to issue a manual NC command and that works as well.... provided that you issue it twice.
To be honest, that's a pain, because the second command won't display the image, the program just sits there, waiting for you to press the Cycle Start button.
I'm hoping that Tormach will fix this.
Again, thanks for taking the time to work this out.
Michael
