For those of you familiar with the software . Ive just worked my way through “do events”, and im trying to write a program in mdi for threading. The program starts with the x movement, say -.005 , then it goes to the z , the program stops and i have to hit start for it to retract x and move z back to zero. Once back at zero the spindle has to be stopped to restart the program. Am i missing something here ? Is this normal ? So start program x moves , then turn spindle on , the z will go to designated value, machine stops … hit start , the x retracts and moves back to z zero. Now the spindle needs to be turned off , then start… to continue. I feel like im missing something
