Axis tries to make a preview plot. To stop this, put the comment: (AXIS,stop) at the start of your program.

The original file had an error. I fixed it on the other computer, but, did not copy it to the CNC computer. DUH! The file causes LinuxCNC Axis to go into a loop, being non responsive to the keyboard and mouse. The cursor changed into a watch face, indicating AXIS was busy. What does AXIS do when a file is opened, but, not run? The file: ======================================================== ( cut a slot ) #1 = 5 o100 while [ #1 gt 0 ] g91 g1 z -0.010 f3 g90 g1 x 1.7250 y 0.2125 g3 x 1.7250 y 0.2875 i 0 j +0.0375 g1 x 0.3500 g3 x 0.3500 y 0.2125 i 0 j -0.0375 o100 endwhile M2 ======================================================== Note the missing loop counter adjustment. #1 = [ #1 - 1 ] It appears that AXIS is simulating the file, or something. But, what?
