Hi Fern,

I have managed to display the spindle direction field. Thanks for your help! :)
In the image above, at Tool number, in the picture there is 0 - None. In the dropdown I see also tool 1 and tool 2.
From where does the native cam loads these tools? It doesn't seem to be from the linuxcnc's tool table. There I have three tools, here I can see only two, and the offsets of those tools are ignored.
I'm I missing something?

Hi,

NativeCAM loads the tool table specified if your ini file i.e : [EMCIO] TOOL_TABLE = *.tbl

Hi Fern,
I have managed to load the native cam in a tab, now I have more space. Thanks! :)
I have noticed a few issues that you may want to correct.
1. If I make visible the hidden fields as you suggested, they don't remain visible at the next relaunch even if I click "Save values as defaults". Also the values I'm saving are not kept on the next relaunch.
2. Under the tool change tab, I can't change the cut depth, the minimum value it takes is 2.54. If I enter, anything smaller than 2.54 it converts it to 2.54. In my lathe units, 2.54mm its a DOC that cannot be used for most materials.
3. Even if the tool table is set correct and the the tool 1 moves at the correct position if I issue an G0 Z0 X0, when I start the program the tool 30-40mm behind the actual part.
I will post the generated code below for a simple facing operation, perhaps it helps you debugging the cause.

Please be patient

Those problems have been solved with many others...

Hi Fern,

Thanks :)

Unless you want to do translation or add/edit icons, you should not clone or download files from github

Yes

Lot more

Hi Fern,

I've just updated, and although in the about dialog it says 0.1.11, I see the old buttons, where a thread represents each operation.
While I had previous version, I tried to change some routines so that I can fix some bugs, so in the ncam/catalogs/lathe I have created a menu-custom.xml. Right now it seems is taking the values from this one.
Now if I delete that file, it's being recreated with the previous values each time I start linuxcnc.
I've ended up copying the values inside menu.xml into custom-menu.xml and now I can see your updates in the UI.
Any idea how can I get rid of that custom-menu.xml? :)

Are you using a menu-custom.xml ? If so delete it to use the standard menu.

For testing, I recommend you use the lcnc wizard and make a new copy of the files like 2.7.axis-1
This way you will be able to use the new default_template and the new tool table. Loading lcnc with the wizard and axis had some issues on my pc, I recommend you load in a terminal like $ linuxcnc lathe-mm.ini
gmoccapy did not have this problem nor gscreen

Is your my-stuff sub-directory empty ?
