add + sign with axes XYZ and runtime in program

Hi Everybody,
First of all sorry ,if I am wrong.
I am new to LinuxCNC , don't know much about it.
But the issue I faced is how to add + sign with axes while they are not in negative position
Also how to add run time to the auto mode, so that every time I get the time consumed by job.
Third one , how to save values of XYZ to a file so that if i stopped the program , i can continue from that point, something like that helps much. I haven't found anything regarding these issues . Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance
Sorry again
Have good time!

I am working from an iPhone as I am away from home. This somewhat limits my support resources.
(Also why I didn't see your post to approve it)

The solution to the + sign will be the same as the answer to questions about number of digits.
You need to change the format string in axis.py
I have suggested that a better way might be useful to the developers mailing list.

Also the time for completing a job is already there under File>Properties>Run time, there you have the total FEED time, so it does not count for rapid movements.
Saving the last position is also possible,

The "Run Time" calculated under File>Properties> does use positioning times, but is woefully inaccurate because it estimates the run time without accounting for accelerations. An extreme example might be a complex 3d surfacing file where the actual feed rate may only ever reach 75% of the programed feed rate for most of the run.

There is a way to display the actual runtime of a file after each run, by using the time hal component and adding a virtual control panel (pyvcp or gladevcp)
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/time.9.html

I use it all the time, i just add 20 to 50% more time, depending on the complexity. For more complicated stuff, i do not bother, i leave it and go have a coffee ! :laugh:

didn't get where to add this (see the attachment) ?
tired a little , guessed from your old post
forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/38-general-linu...rdinate-system#77930
, but to which version does it support? does it work on emc2 ?

also it can only help me find the values before homing ?
but it can't work for auto mode resume running condition

I am sure I composed a longer and more compete answer when back at a keyboard, but I don't see it here.

Is a link to a similar problem.

You need to edit the format string to suit.

% 6.3f means "floating point, pad with spaces, 6 digits, 3 decimals"
% +6.3f" means "add a + or - symbol

Sorry for the bad lead on axis,py, it's glcanon.py.
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/rs274/glcanon.py

You need to add that line in the .ini file.

i found 9.3, instead of 6.3, the find says no 6.3f is in the file.
anyhow i tired to change 9.3f to +9.3f ( seen that from an old post)
BUT
can't save the file, thinking stuck near the end

Ah, yes, you need to either save the file to somewhere that you can write to, then use sudo and cp to move it into place, or remember to open the editor in "sudo" mode before you start editing.

So, either start the editor from the command line with something like or maybe depending on the editor you have installed.

Or, if you already saved it to the desktop
