The problem is entirely with the graphical preview. If you don't need the graphical preview then using one of the simpler GUIs might be an answer. (tklinuxcnc, for example). Does you process need G-code at all? You might want to consider a GUI-free G-code-free solution just using HAL or HAL and ClassicLadder. A GladeVCP Panel and a HAL file can be a very adaptable and useful control system. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
