Easy,
$ ncam -i inifilename

Same inifile loaded by lcnc

Hi Fern I'm very excited with the news, but I still have not been able to download the updates, I have this error I don't know if it could be a network error or not:

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permesso negato)
W: Errore nello scaricare packagecloud.io/FernV/NativeCAM/debian/p...ivecam_0.1.4_all.deb
Operation timed out after 120001 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received


denied permission and downloading error...
Any idea?

Hi,

I was able to download the deb by simply clicking the link you supplied, but ...

Updates should be automatic.
If you open synaptic, find nativecam and check for updates, what does happen ? Could it be updated this way ?

Fern

Hi,
It was just a message from synaptic, I waited a while and eventually downloaded the updates, it seems a network error.
The last % symbol should be written at the end of the program and not along the post-amble, you have to move it to the bottom otherwise it will not work.
Then with regard to G41.1; G42.1 I have to do some milling test since according to the simulation the tool wear compensation does not turn out work ok, for better understanding I'll make a video and post the results later.
Thanks for your promptness

This is what it does. If you have it in postamble then remove it

Maybe a video will not help, I understood that the 'D' param was the (worn) diameter of the tool to use.
Selecting a tool from the table will provide for length and diameter. Even when a tool is selected if Dynamic diameter is > 0.0
this is the value used for compensation, lead-in and lead-out. Not used for engraving or drilling or plasma but used for threadmilling too

Fern Sorry I have messed up. When you have the time can you please give me the steps to completely remove nativecam from my system so that I can try again I seem to have various directories with different versions of NativeCAM I am running 2.7.9 Thanks

First, open a terminal where your inifile is and type this command :
$ ncam -h
it will give you indications on what to do next, but do this then
$ ncam -i inifilename -c catalogname
catalogname is one of those : mill, plasma or lathe
if mill (default) you do not need -c and parameter
close ncam and start linuxcnc
$ linuxcnc inifilename
close linuxcnc
save the content of the terminal and post here

I will then be able to tell you what to do
Fern

Fern, maybe I have to delete my old modified files and reinstall NativeCAM...

Usually tool compensation is difficult to program in linuxcnc because it does not support led out on the arcs and another set of cautions. The work you're carrying out with nativecam is really impressive, Axis doesn't display very good the quotes around the 0.1 of mm but the dynamic compensation works like a charm. I am very happy with this great gift!
Thank you so much!
