Tool offset patch

Even with the problems we have exploited with the patch it is still better than no patch. Please keep up the good work and Thank you Chris and D Rogge for starting the development work in this area. We are running two Large lathes on this patch and even with the issues we are making it happen. I wish I could write the code myself but no where near that level of understanding, we will however gladly do real testing on this. Looking forward to jog while paused too......Just a plug for what we need.


Again Thank you for your efforts.

It's true what they say SRT, a change of sky to ground. You helped to improve the work of Rogge.

My lathe is producing with your patch.

I found a solution, is to select the tools that I will change, if swap then apply them before I applied one by one. and if it works ..!

Friend my apology stolen a space this post.

How do I get my monitor I assume the rotation, said "rotation not supported".
I'm working on a GUI, from GScreen, but will not let me rotate the monitor.

Thanks,

Should be no different from the original.

If your interested in trying a experimental patch I have one available that switches to an INI switch and fixes the G10 problem.
(tool setting changes the wrong offset entry)

Remember experimental - it has minimum testing.
If anyone tries it please let me know.

Hello Chris,

This experimental patch, is all that changes is that the values would be put in the opposite fields, wear in 01 and geometry in 10001?

Along with the INI switch?

We are still having issues with the machine, at random points, telling us that " Requested tool XX not found in tool table", and we have not really noticed any pattern of activity that is making this happen.

We tried moving the "Wear" values to the "Geometry" section of the table and the "Geometry" to the " Wear" section and noticed that now if the fault appears you usually only need to go back to the tool edit page, select the tool and hit apply, instead of having to delete the information and re-add the very same data to get it to recognize the tool.

I just don't know what else I should try to do in regards to troubleshooting this problem.

Thanks

Rick

Thank you for your report.
The development branch is going to have a big shake up and I am waiting till after that to continue work on this feature.
It was a lot more work then I had thought.

The only way I can think of to debug this is to add a bunch of print statements and see what is different when there is an error.
I am currently too busy to do the work...sorry.

I did find an oddity in the tool file you posted in the Gscreen thread.
When I paste it into gedit there are line breaks in odd spots.
It seems the comments section is too long.

I wonder if this matters. If you happens again try opening the tool file in gedit and fixxing the comments section.
