M-Code placement in program

Post by rbmgf7 »

This is both a Sheetcam and Mach3 question.

DIY machine but I'm running the mentioned software.

When trying to setup for cutting small holes, I want to turn the THC off. I have the code snippet in Sheetcam (M102:M101::THC_ON:THC_OFF) as well as the macro in Mach3.

However, whenever I go from cutting the small holes with the THC off to turning the THC on for other cuts, Mach3 stops (acts like a feed hold) when it trigger the torch.

Is there something I'm missing in Mach3 to keep the program running when it triggers the torch with THC on or is there a way in Sheetcam to post M102 after M3?
