Feature Request
Good deal, so when you say "it seems that there is some issue with external offsets and soft limits", do you mean within LinuxCNC itself? If so, hopefully the overlords can take a look at it.I am reasonably sure all the CC issues are sorted. It now disables the X/Y offset enable when not required. My table has the soft limits very close to the endstops (I have no limit switches) and when the offsets were enabled, after a CR or CC and jogging to the limit would cause a following error and it smacks into the endstops. Disabling the offsets cured that. So it seems that there is some issue with external offsets and soft limits.
Sounds good, we'll get there.I "think" this is part of the timing issues I mentioned previously. I am sure we will get a solution.
Yea, I think I can see use for wanting to make sure things get under way before you totally ignore it. I want to move on to cutting holes with cut rules via ignoring the arc-OK with G code for testing next. Maybe tonight, not 100% sure.Sure. I was going to ask whether this should be automatically applied during mesh mode but I see further down you mention that both options may be required. I haven't and probably won't cut expanded metal so I am not sure.
Good deal, thank you! Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you about the error message (there was none), I was sound asleep lolNext testing version pushed.
I did see why the conversational wasn't working, the Ignore OK button exists now plusI made a couple of changes to CR.
Have fun...
Looking forward to testing it out. I think we're getting close to having these new features ironed out. Makes me wonder what will be left to test?!

I understand what I wrote... but I see what you mean.The mouse-overs in the gui for "Enable" and "Ignore OK" don't necessairly line up with what they do
Unfortunately LinuxCNC doesn't allow a blank file, if the is no M2 or % then it pops up an errorWhen you cancel out of Conversational, the shape.ngc file stays present (with the two lines "(new wizard)" and "m2"). Mostly for tidiness, it should probably load a blank, or default file, to clear the window
Not that I know of.Which actually brings me to another question, probably Axis related... How do I clear the current program? Other than loading a different program, or closing and reopening LinuxCNC, is there a way to just clear the program?
They show the coordinate that the machine is currently at in the current user coordinate system (usually G54)Why does the origin in Conversational default to X-8.594 and Y-5.297? Is this an "oops", or was it intentional so that people notice to change it? Would leaving them blank to be populated be an option instead?
The reasoning behind this was say if you wanted to start 0.1" higher than the current position then is is easy to change if you can see the current posistion rather thean needing to go back to the GUI preview to see the position.
They default to the current (just like the user guide saysI just noticed if I leave X and Y origin blank, it doesn't error out. Should it? (it should if we do suggestion 4)

Closing LinuxCNC with the Conversational window open does not close the conversational window.
Pausing a second time after pressing resume results in not being able to jog the torch (pause during first probe, jog torch, resume cut, pause during that probe = cant jog anymore)
Clicking Cancel seems to do nothing (except it does re-highlight the Rev, Slider, Fwd section at the top). I think it used to close the window in the past.
Clicking the X at the top of the CR window to make it go away causes the buttons in the "extras" tab to completely go away, requiring a restart.
Yay!!! something works... (I had already pushed that to 2.8)Mesh cutting mode works as expected! Time to get ready to cook dinner, let me know if I can grab you anything at all. Thanks, as
Getting there, albeit more slowly than I hoped for...

Sorry, I dont mean to be picky. Just was thinking of it from a new user perspecitve.I understand what I wrote... but I see what you mean.
Oh, interesting, Good to know. How does it allow itself to start blank?Unfortunately LinuxCNC doesn't allow a blank file, if the is no M2 or % then it pops up an error
Admittedly, I'm used to being able to clear a program and have a blank slate because of PathPilot. They have the option there. No idea how they pull the rabbit out of the hat though.Not that I know of.
Now that I understand what it's doing, it makes perfect sense.They show the coordinate that the machine is currently at in the current user coordinate system (usually G54)
The reasoning behind this was say if you wanted to start 0.1" higher than the current position then is is easy to change if you can see the current posistion rather thean needing to go back to the GUI preview to see the position.
This is my fault. I honestly got so into testing the new conversational window, I actually forgot that it existed before already, and probably had a section to read in the user guide. My apologies.They default to the current (just like the user guide says

^ this made me laugh
Sorry, I dont mean to always be the bearer of bad news lolI expected it to work properly too, but with the new check box, what kind of tester would I be if I didn't test itYay!!! something works... (I had already pushed that to 2.8)
Well, they say Rome wasn't built in a day I guess. I don't mind, gives me something to do after work, plus I enjoy the process.Getting there, albeit more slowly than I hoped for...

No worries, we need to get it right.Sorry, I dont mean to be picky. Just was thinking of it from a new user perspecitve.
I am not sure, when I get time I will have a look. Although if I get it to work in Axis I guess I will have to try in Gmoccapy as well and trying to customise that is a nightmare.Oh, interesting, Good to know. How does it allow itself to start blank?
Interesting, it must be doable somehowAdmittedly, I'm used to being able to clear a program and have a blank slate because of PathPilot. They have the option there.
No worries, there seems to be a fraction less each postSorry, I dont mean to always be the bearer of bad news lol
