Re: [Emc-users] Using MDI or Jog during a program?
Unfortunately, my tool path is complicated. Usually it will have several turns in the path. It is almost like we teach the controller way points to travel to and thru. Thanks, Tim H.

Tim, is the weld line straight or a complicated shape? If I was doing it I think I would write a script to do all of it and bypass the g-code completely. Another alternative would be to write a script that grabs the current torch positions then generates a complete g-code program that you can then run.

Re: [Emc-users] Using MDI or Jog during a program?
If you want to align your path to the start and end points you will have to both shift and rotate your coordinates. How good are your programming skills? EMC is pretty easy to work with so it wouldn't be difficult to write an application that does exactly what you want. Les Tim Hedlund wrote: Unfortunately, my tool path is complicated.
