no toolpath and tool shape is backwards

Post by turbothis » Wed Mar 20, 2024 5:27 pm

i got everything else working great!
i got the custom screen working on my desktop computer but when i load the lathe computer with the custom file it will not show toolpath and cutter is up side down. like it is back side turret. i am front side turret and have that set on the trajectory planner tab
what should i be looking for to fix this?

EDIT there was an old toolpath on the viewer. i cleared it and got no toolpath on desktop computer

We added an option (I believe for you) to put the tool path on the floating GCode Viewer window.

Option added to use Floating GViewer Dialog with Screen Script instead of GViewer on Main Screen. To enable this option set the GViewer Control on the Main Screen’s Var parameter to 0.

Do you have that enabled? What is the GViewer's Var Setting in your Screen?

Works now for me. You may need to restart KMotionCNC for it to take effect.
