1. minor nuisance: always having to change the default file extension from .tap to .nc. could we have a some persistence here? 2. minor nuisance: when a probe log file is loaded, i haven't found a way of clearing it without loading another one or exiting the program. am i missing something? or could...

I ran into another problem with the latest AL release. I leveled some code with an already-made probe log and, while running the output file, the bit dug nearly 1/8" into the workpiece at one point. This has never happened to me while using any of the AL releases. And heretofore, aside from the weir...

I was one of the few having trouble with arcs causing infinite loops in the early 0.8.x versions. Lately, I've been converting my g-code to lines in Cambam, which has been a rather poor solution because the arcs get bastardized into a string of jagged little lines. Unsightly, and really pushing my 1...

Wouldn't it be great if you could? Maybe have a general way of specifying probing area and spacing like there is now, but have a flyout menu that has a graphical display of the probe points where you could manually add, delete, and move them. This would be supremely useful to me, as many things I wa...

What version are you using? Versions before 0.8.3 don't support arcs (G2 and G3 commands) in the g-code. In my experience, the earlier versions work ok for smallish arcs but show the same symptoms as you've got there on bigger arcs. If you're using an old version, you could break your arcs up into s...

Just wanted to let you know that I have downloaded the latest fixes and have had no problems so far. Thanks again. As far as Gaston's observations, there was another user who was having the same problem loading AL with Windows 7. I am also using Windows 7, but I haven't seen this. It may be because ...

OK. I did some more work with the g-code generated from a probe file (can we call this the PLF, for Probe Levelled File?), and I ran into some snags. The first issue isn't so much of a bug, pre se, but it has me wondering. The PLF has a sub-routine that moves the spindle to a known point, probes dow...

Hello James. The Z-axis on my machine is fairly accurate, typically <.0005" over the length of travel. I use anti backlash nuts also and have measured the backlash on my Z axis to be around .001". Even so, I still use backlash compensation in Mach3. Like we were talking about, I think backlash comp ...

The new fix has been working. This helps me out a bunch. Thank you. If I run into any problems I'll let you know.

I started out with a small test file and it worked as described. But when I tried it with my circuit it did not. I didn't use the same PFG as before because my circuit has changed a bit. I'll upload the new ones in case you want to take a look.
