Hello.
If I have a job with 3 operations but the same bit.
drilling, pocket, profile.
I want to add a pause between pocket and profile to add a fastener.
I did accomplish this by pressing toolchange between operations but I want to add in the job..
either in vcarve or cnc12.
Which is the best way to accomplish this?
Tnx!
You can add a g code command in that will “pause and wait for operator”
That command is “M00” (m zero zero)
You could edit the post processor in vcarve to do this automatically but it would be a bit of work for a one off.
You can use NCviewer.com to edit your gcode.
Thank you!
You can also use notepad++ to do this:
This is actually a better way to do it because you can “live edit” your g code. That is you make an edit, click save and it’s already in CNC12. This is a video of me using it to search for a restart line, but you can just as easily enter in new code and run it from there.
