M10/M11 not respond in Mach3

[MorastCNC]

Hi all

I have a issue with the M10/M11 macros in Mach3

I intend to stop torch before the motion stop, but I can't get Mach3 respond to the macros

Here is a simple g-code of a hole:

N0420 M05
N0430 G00 Z10.0000
N0440 X0.0000 Y0.0000
N0450 M05 M30

This code is made in Sheetcam with 20 mm overburn and torch of 20 mm before end
On N0350 is the the M10P2 macro(I have my torch to output #2 in Mach3)

This is not working, but if I change M10P2 to M05 or M110 with DeActivateSignal(OutPut2) it works.
M05 and M110 makes a delay in motion while it runs, M10P2 should not make a delay according to many forums.

Is there a setting in Mach3 that have to be done to make M10 macro work?

I hope anywone have a solution for this matter

1. Is your torch on output2?
2. To use M!0 you also have to use M11 to turn on the same output. Its oaky to use both (in seperate lines) like
M03
M11P2

then
M10P2 in the off before end
and
M05 at the end

or you can leave out the m03/m05 if you don't hqave any hardware that may expect that as a trigger

Hello

Thank's for quick reply

I tried M11P2 after M03 and M110P2 before M05, but it will not work
I have the torch on output 2

That is one TINY object. Since its runningi in mm (metric) and most of the moves are single digit not sure if cn even see the torch delay or not
