I did, but I just cannot get it to work. I have 5 files:
[master.ngc]
O<labels> call
O<internal_contours> call
O<external_contours_rough> call
O<external_contours_finish> call
G53 G0 X0Y0Z0
[end of master.ngc]
[labels.ngc]
Olabels sub
N0G20M6T2
....
N868M09
N869M30
Olabels endsub
M2
[end of labels.ngc]
[internal_contours.ngc]
Ointernal_contours sub
N0G20M6T2
....
N868M09
N869M30
Ointernal_contours endsub
M2
[end of internal_contours.ngc]
[external_contours_rough.ngc]
Oexternal_contours_rough sub
N0G20M6T2
....
N868M09
N869M30
Oexternal_contours_rough endsub
M2
[end of external_contours_rough.ngc]
[external_contours_finish.ngc]
Oexternal_contours_finish sub
N0G20M6T2
....
N868M09
N869M30
Oexternal_contours_finish endsub
M2
[end of external_contours_finish.ngc]
All files are in the same directory. I believe I got the
master file about right. What I doubt there is if the homing
sequence is correct but that's not a showstopper.
In [labels.ngc] and all the other sub files, I doubt
the missing line numbering. My programming experience tells
me, either it has to be ther or totally omitted.
If I load master ngc in axis, I get no errormessage. when I
run the file I get "Bad Number Format".
I am lost now. What's wrong and where, any help is greatly
appreciated.
greets
chris
