What does AXIS do when a file is opened, but, not run?
Axis runs the program in simulation to create the preview plot.
If the code contains an endless loop, then Axis takes an infinite time
to create the preview.
Press "Esc" will stop the preview, and will then allow you to run the
program. But, of course, the real program will then run for ever too.
Maybe after 10 seconds the GUIs should pop up a dialog "This seems to
be taking a long time, perhaps your code has an infinite loop? [STOP]
[CONTINUE]"
But I think this might need to be done on a per-gui basis.
I suspected simulation, but, was not sure. It runs forever, or at least
several minutes (5?).
(AXIS,stop) is a good suggestion.
I pressed many keys, maybe ESC?. CTRL-ALT-F2 did nothing. Strange.
As I stated in my initial post, the missing loop counter statement
caused this. Maybe I am too greedy, wanting to edit in a different
environment than that provided by linuxCNC 2.7.14???
Thanks for the replies.
