Save subroutine file and location

I went to /utilitysubs opened terminal and copied directory. sudo -i . chown -v name cat > program.ngc . Printed texted and ctrl + z . Either /utilitysubs or /subprograms paths not recoverable yet or something else about the pop-up box: Unable to open file <111>.

Maybe this will help.
My directory structure on this PC.
 

I put 123.ngc in the nc_files directory.
This is the file contents.
 

Here is a shot of the Axis simulator where I ran the subroutine file from the MDI.

In this example I modified the ini file to add a subroutine path in the [RS274NGC] section.
 

I created a new subroutine and placed it in the subroutine directory.
 

Here I ran the new subroutine in the Axis simulator.

Here you can see the location of the two subroutine files.

My /linuxcnc/subprograms ls show subprograms.ngc. I just went to the /linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/axis.ini and texted in SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/name/linuxcnc/subprograms and save. I would of expected PARAMETER_FILE = sim.var goto /utilitysubs folder before now seeing it in the axis.ini file. Reloaded Axis program is still same error pop-up box. My main program and line syntax is just ' o111 call ' if to retrieve the subprogram.

SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/name/linuxcnc/subprograms

Is your computer user named name? what does whoami report?
 

Open a terminal in your subprograms directory and see what pwd reports back. That is the path you need to use.

Yes.  Present version AXIS 2.7.0 LinuxCNC-HAL-SIM-LATHE rtai.

Your ini file looks correct.

Does the attached subroutine work for you?

JT

My use of the subroutine would include passing parameters for a macro and such as a long outer diameter grooving cycle. I wrote the code and tested it with NCPlot v2 program editor and backplotter but it syntax Macro B. Passing parameters with Macro B is G65. LinuxCNC parametric programming nice including more binary operators, looping, conditionals and angle bracket arguments. I possess PathPilot II and use LinuxCNC simulation because it more spontaneous offline.

I'd like a freestyle groove cycle and might require to develop it. It'd require source code and I probably would use C or C++. I'd need to know the path and folder that contains source code. It might be a similar configuration as the path to subroutines but a different directory. However, I'd research the directory, please inform me bye chance if you know the path.

Does my simple subroutine work for you now?
