31659-nativecam-is-features examples

Hi Fern.
First of all thanks a lot for your great work with nativecam.
I have been trying to get familiarized with program preparing several plastic spacers for my mill steppers.
Could you please confirm basic spacer.xml included in nativecam 1.6 is a working example?
I have tried it in LINUXCNCVERSION=2.7.9-38-g140104a and blue progress bar freezes while loading clock does not disappear?
Thanks in advance.

Hi José

I am running it with no problem in the simulator as I write this. Have you made any changes other than selecting a drill and cutter ?

Fern

Hi Fern,
I have not even selected drill or cutter.
I copy output when launching lcnc with axis_mm simulator.

Load the example, read the comment then select Params and read last line

Fern

Hi Fern,
Example does not open, screen stays as in attached screenshoot, I have to force closing lcnc.
José Miguel

José,

1. Restart lcnc.
2. Uncheck Auto-refresh from NativeCAM Utilities menu
3. Open 'basic spacer.xml' example
4. Change values in Params for some metric ones
5. Click on the Build Button (the one that looks like a gear)

If this does not work, post ALL screen shots that you think are pertinent
