Using Mach 3 post process and selecting 'Yes' For subroutines generates the same code as selecting 'no', but just sticks it in a subroutine. It should put the same repeated process, in the subroutine.
I would like to tell my machine to go to a position and carve my logo in the part. I will tell it what position to go to. But instead it always goes to the same place on my machine. I want to be able to put a complex routine in a routine and have it use relative positions (G91). But there is no way to do this in Fusion without adding the logo to my model.
With Mach i can put the subroutine in a folder. For example I can name the routine O9000. and put it in the subroutine folder. Then all I would need to add to my Gcode file is:
G90
G00 X35 Y22 Z1
PO9000
But instead I need to spend 1/2 hour or more adding the model to the part.
Example I have a part with 3 holes that are identical in it. I would expect the code look like:
...
G00 X1 Y1
M98 P0001
G00 X10 Y2
M98 P0001
G00 X12 Y2
M98 P0001
...
O0001
X-0.375 Z-0.165 I-0.375 J0.
...
X0.375 Z-3.04 I0.375 J0.
M99
...
But it doesn't it looks like:
M98 P0001
O0001
G00 X1 Y1
X-0.375 Z-0.165 I-0.375 J0.
...
X0.375 Z-3.04 I0.375 J0.
G00 X10 Y2
X-0.375 Z-0.165 I-0.375 J0.
...
X0.375 Z-3.04 I0.375 J0.
G00 X12 Y2
X-0.375 Z-0.165 I-0.375 J0.
...
X0.375 Z-3.04 I0.375 J0.
M99
