I've edited the .pp file for my Avid CNC (inch) (*.txt) as described in the Vectric documentation (which still contains an error in the Block Numbering section: it should read "LINE_NUMBER_START=0" but it reads "LINE_NUMBER=0"), but no block numbers are present in the generated toolpath output file.
I added the following:
andLINE_NUMBER_START = 10
LINE_NUMBER_INCREMENT = 10
I also added [N] to most every Command output section I could find - like this:VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|1.0]
Saved my changes, opened VCarve, which threw no errors like it does when it finds something it doesn't like.VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|1.0]
Opened my project file and recalculated the toolpaths then saved the toolpath file.
No joy:
Can someone please explain what I'm missing?(VECTRIC POST REVISION)
