I use very often end mills for drilling opperations, as it allows saving tool changes.

How are you using it then ? Are you using drilling modes G73, 81, 82 or 83 ?
One option is using a Drill Change and not activate, this will not ask for a tool change but set the feed, speed and mode but you have to use the drilling subroutines

What is your p.o.v. on this ?

if you are in metric and you enter a user defined drill diameter, lets say 4.2 mm, it will be interpretet as inch value.

I think I can solve this

Thanks for the new release Fern.

I finished loading a new system with the most recent live cd and applied all updates. I successfully loaded that python thing. I downloaded your latest release an hour or so ago and extracted it to my home dir. I found that extracting it to /mark resulted in dir structure of /NativeCAM-master/NativeCAM-master/then_all_of_your_files.

The only thing in the first NativeCAM-master directory was the subdirectory NativeCAM-master with its sub directories and files. So I renamed the directory structure, moved the files and deleted redundant subdirectory. So now my structure matches what you show in your mill.ini file /mark/ncam/then_all_of_your_files.

Not sure what significance this has but I was able to load the embedded version into axis sim.

Thought I would provide a status report of my findings.

Hi Mark,

Sounds like you downloaded a zip file, isn't it ?

Next time, try to clone. In a terminal in the directory of your choice
copy this command : git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git
Updates will be much simpler

I assume that command gets pasted into a terminal window? I tried it and got the following error.

george@toshiba:~$ git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git
fatal: repository 'github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git' does not exist
george@toshiba:~$

Sorry, I did not double check

It appears the the leading "https://" before "github" was removed when I posted

You can copy the address from the green button on that github site but do not forget the
"git clone "

In fact, you can use your home directory ~/
A sub-directory NativeCAM will be created and the whole process takes seconds

To have the latest updates you change directory to NativeCAM and issue :
git pull origin master
and do it anytime

If someone knows a better command to update, please correct

Hi Fern I'm very excited with your great work, thank you very much. :cheer:

I cloned the last version and try to install it, this is the error I get :sick:

on Linuxmint 17.3 Xfce-64bit:

ef@pl ~/linuxcnc/configs/NativeCAM $ sudo python setup.py

  File "setup.py", line 54, in <module>
    os.symlink(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'ncam.py'), fn)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

then I did:

ef@pl ~/linuxcnc/configs/NativeCAM $ sudo python setup.py c
"from ncam import NCam" removed from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py

glade-widget-class named NCam removed from /usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml
glade-widget-class-ref name NCam removed from /usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml
ef@pl ~/linuxcnc/configs/NativeCAM $ sudo python setup.py
"from ncam import NCam" added to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py

  File "setup.py", line 54, in <module>
    os.symlink(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'ncam.py'), fn)

and the problem persists; it's seems I'm doing something wrong, please help

I loaded a new setup.py

It seems it did not remove the link before

Try with arg 'c' first, it will give the name of the link it is trying to create
