Hi all; I have a small routine that drills a though hole on center, then backs out and carves a deep counterbore for a screw head, then backs out and carves a small square pocket for a bit of ebony screw hider.
Today I tried to wrap it up in a step & repeat, putting all the "bit in wood" into relative moves from where its at, but using absolute movements to move to the next place I need another such pocket carved. Unforchunately the G3 moves seem to be verboten in this setup. 50% error is the usual pop up. I have read the man page probably 20-30 times today but finally gave up, so I am finding the center of the 1st hole, homing lcnc to that position, run the thing to make the pocket, then move x by the pocket separation distance and rehome x, run it again till I'm out of fingers without pockets. But it sure seems like I ought to be able to do it all in one run. Can anyone clarify this, or have I found a bug? Thanks guys.
