My Apologies. I got G71 to work now... (on a sim config on my laptop) Not sure what I did different now... (Wait... I figured that out... incorrect use of G42.1... G42.1 sends my tool into the job... I wrote a different program, and forgot to use G42.1 ... Now I'm confused again about G42.1 ... Why did it send the tool into the job...? I will figure that out too...)
I'm going to Upgrade my lathe again... Back to 2.9-pre, and try it again. I think I might have had a problem in my program, So going to test it out. It works quite differently from Siemens and Fanuc... But I just have to get used to it...
Will report back on the G96 S-word missing problem tho... I do think there is a bug...
