Indexer Wrapping Y looks backwards, but isn't.

Give this one a try (in the air to start with)

I think this one might do what Warner wants....

Basically I changed:
"M5,,[Y],[Z],,[X]"
to
"M5,,[Y],[Z],,-[X]"


CAUTION: I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS

I am fairly sure both our examples will do the same thing.

The only advantage of using this line, ROTARY_WRAP_X = "-B" is that it only takes one change.

Not a huge advantage really.

I tested the output with your PP and getting double negatives.

J5,,0.0000,0.4724,,--91.4153
M5,,0.0000,0.3543,,--91.4153
M5,,0.6945,0.3543,,--91.4153
M5,,0.6945,0.3543,,--53.5047
M5,,0.7874,0.3543,,--53.5047
M5,,0.7874,0.3543,,--144.3338
M5,,0.6945,0.3543,,--144.3338

And mine with ROTARY_WRAP_X = "-B is placing a "B" in the code, which shopbot probably won't like.

J5,,0.0000,0.4724,,B91.4153
M5,,0.0000,0.3543,,B91.4153

OK after a few more tries this line looks to work.

ROTARY_WRAP_X = "-"

Gives this code,

M5,,-0.2097,0.7480,,22.6584
M5,,-0.1911,0.7480,,23.0938
M5,,-0.1710,0.7480,,23.4327
M5,,-0.1496,0.7480,,23.6752
M5,,-0.1268,0.7480,,23.8211
M5,,-0.1268,0.7480,,-7.1327
M5,,-0.1010,0.7480,,-7.1717
M5,,-0.0667,0.7480,,-7.0893
M5,,-0.0502,0.7480,,-6.9863

Here is the corrected PP

Greg,

I'm still amazed that people on different side of the planet can collaborate on some software and come up with a solution within 2 hours. Thanks for your work on this.

[Warner Burch]

You guys are jewels--your fixes worked. Thanks from a neophyte Wrapper! Greg, I used your fix. Randall, keep warm.

Thanks again,

Warner
