thank you..

ok, so its just testing with it.. after it was done I just wiped it off with a brush.

Steve over at iconic helped me figure out this g code stuff using another PP, this picture shows a 3/4" x 1/2" name engraved on glass with a 120 bit with 0.1 pressure, looks rough! what pressure would be a cleaner and better look ? thanks https://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll177/jgstang58/dd/diamon...

yes a problem, for some reason it will not let me, so i'm trying a different PP for now I was told would work, is SOM3 CODE the same as M3, and M3 M4 M5 for spindle on/off and M6 tool change on/off. thanks

I been trying to do this diamond drag and was told to delete the M3 and M6 from the PP file, so I went to vcarve and clicked open data file and got to the PP file and took them out. I did a copy of it first, I was suppost to delete them from the NC file which I know what that is now! I tried to edit...

Yes it opened in notepad

Here is what I did.. I opened file and got to where it list's PP with other things, I copied geetech atc and pasted that into my PP, then I double clicked geetech atc and re-named it quick carve. after that I double it and scrolled down to the M3 codes like in the picture and deleted them both. when...

so I changed the name to quick carve and then deleted the M3 code's and tried to set up the carve and it still says GEETECH ATC for PP on the toolpath side, tried to change the PP there but only shows me the geetech.. so how to get that to what I want ?

ok so I copied the pp just incase, added it to my pp and renamed it.. question is now is do I delete both M3 codes in the picture I posted ?

ok, so just to make sure I do this right before i goof! if i copy and paste the PP i have in my PP but change the name and delete the M3 i should be good... not touching the original one, so when i do a quick carve.. if i go into my PP and click it, it will be using it with the qiuck carve option on...

New question because I don't know about this stuff.. I my case, can I just change the postprocessor for quick carve only ? in other words, when i'm doing any other carve use my the way it is and (only) when using quick carve its set up to use another PP ? that would make it simple.. thanks

which M3 gets deleted ?

Talked to Steve, he wants me to try leaving the SOM3 and see if the controller under configuration shows M3 or not, if it does is it open or closed. if it does i'm going to close it and see if it works.. question for mtylerfl , when i'm on vcarve and switch sides to toolpath and get that done I try ...

You know that's a good question.. I sent him the same photo so I will see! thanks

Well I talked to Steve today over at ICONIC, very smart and nice guy! so here is what he said to do.... get my toolpath project on my FD and then open it in notepad to get to the codes and find M6 and M3 the M6 just stops the extra motion for the tool changer and since that's not needed delete it al...
