Alternate axis names
Posté : dim. déc. 02, 2018 7:09 pm
Hi
I'm new to JediCut, so I'm sure I'll have a couple of questions as time goes on, however firstly: thanks for an awesome program, I'm very impressed with how easy it is to use and that it's free!
I'm using a Beckhoff controlled 4-axis foam cutter (build is still in progress), and the Beckhoff NCi g-code interpreter has set names for the axes. The main ones are fine: X, Y and Z, however the auxiliary axes are handled a bit differently to what JediCut expects, using the notation Q1=, Q2=...
An example of a manually created G-Code file that works on the Beckhoff system:
Since JediCut supports custom axis names, I can almost get it to produce this format, however the axes names are limited to a length of 1 character. Would it be possible to increase this to 3 characters?
Thanks
Etienne
