Greetings all; I don't mind saying that this is getting old, as in Jurassic.
pcb outputs terrible drill/mill code, so I converted every hole it needs to drill to a simple hole with a .03125" mill. Works great, but there are 4 to 7 holes that need to grow a bit, and 6 thou will probably cover the bigger ones I need, when added to the diameter of the drilled hole. So I wrote a subroutine that I could selectively call if the hole its working on needs another few thou. Looks like this: o200 SUB ( subroutine to enlarge selected holes ) G91 (relative distance mode) G91.1 (incremental distance for arcs) G1 X0.00300 G3 X0.00300 Y-0.00010 I-0.00300 J-0.00000 G90 (back to absolute for the rest of the code, till the next o200 CALL. o200 ENDSUB G91.1 was already in effect according to the MDI status. I have commented it out, no difference. Simple enough, and the data is straight out of Big Johns newest arc code generator. Only problem is it doesn't draw the circle to a 0-360 degree arc, you have to end it at 359.9999. For that small a hole, who cares. Won't load, arc end error is 50.0xxx% Am I missing some other command in the init string that would fix this? Thanks everybody.
