Removing pause at beginning of cut.

Post by Alabass »

I know this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find it with a search. When I load the G-code into Mach3 and select "Cycle Start", it runs through a few lines of code and pauses. I have to hit "Cycle Start" again for the cut to start. Where do I turn off the pause? Is it in the post processor or somewhere else in Sheetcam?

There is a warnings setting at the top of the post processor.

It's not an error. It does it on purpose. Here is an example of the code:

Yes, but you can disable the pause in the post if you want to.

Setting "warnings = false" all lower case will turn off the message and not pause . It there for the operator to confirm (and possibly override) the settings/parameters from the Toolsets .

I like it because sometimes, for whatever reason, the volts setting in Mach doesn't adjust to what is in the gcode. It becomes stuck on whatever it was set on and the only way I can get it to change is to restart Mach. If it weren't for the pause, I would have ruined many projects.
