Very nice work. This is perfect for one off type of parts. I will use it often. Thank you.

Thank you Mark I appreciate your feedback! If you find any issues/bugs please let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

I found this plugin very useful and been using quite often, each time I use I find a bug or something to tweak and been fixing as I went along. Unfortunately I haven't made a list but biggest that come to mind are.

1. In wizard "create part or path" absolute mode didn't work. (I mainly use incremental)...fixed
2. On slower comps sometimes may get and exemption when trying to access a file that was still be written. Created a check function...fixed
3. I removed the ability to call main menu with macro. It was causing a [STAThread] exemption I couldn't resolve. I like the way interface works and not going to change it.

Any problems I was notified about was fixed. I tried to update the help files since without a manual plugin can be useless.

HIYA Dan, I loaded up teh latest plugin to take a peak. It does not work here. I load teh plugin and teh main screen comes up. I select start a new file and nothing happens. I do get teh message about starting a new file but then nothing happens.

Any ideas ?? Am I doing something wrong ?

Hey Terry,

When you press start on main menu it just clears temp file and puts a header in your Gcode display. To create any code you need to choose a wizard of the 5 to left of start button.

Yes Terry thanks, there is a problem. The moronic thing I did was created a function to wait while(loading) reading/writing a file and was checking before file/folder was created and causing UCCNC to become non responsive.

All my testing file and folder was already created so all looked good and I missed it. To top it I posted a Gcode Unit Converter plugin on the zone this morning with same overlook/error.

At least there easy fixes and will do tonight, right now have a backyard full of company for a BBQ and my wife getting pissed me going back and forth to office. It was driving me nuts at first.

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

Dan, nice plugin, i'd really like to do a simple one for plasma {no Z / depth of cut}

Hi Dan and thanks for creating this.

Thought I'd give Wizard V6 a spin and have a problem. I hit Start to clear the temp file and created a 2" pocket .25" deep in 2 passes at X6,Y6. The generated Gcode has my Z plunging to -.625" right off the bat. The second pass moves to Z-.75".
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Ed,

You are not doing anything wrong, if you try running code in offline mode or demo mode you will see it runs correctly. I think what you are missing is that after your Z.5 (Z travel setting) move to X6 Y6 there's a
G91(incremental Mode).

Your settings are to pocket .25 in 2 passes(.125 per pass)

.5 + .125 = -0.625

Back to Z travel setting (.5) than back to X6 Y6 for second pass(.125)

.5 + .25 = -.75
