20thGix Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 NinjaNick is right. Copy/paste ditch the M30 and go with the M01. You shouldnt even have to mess with the GOTO's. Unless your comfortable doing so. Any info in the begining of the copied programs you dont want the machine to read you can delete it, put parenthesis around it ex. "(blah blah G-code this M-code that)" or use a forward slash "/" infont of the line number and turn Block Delete on. Another thing to consider is your work offset. If all 4 programs use the same pick-up "X0,Y0" you will be fine. But if each program uses a different X0Y0 location you will need to change the work offset number for each program. I would assume that the first program would be G54. Then use G55 for program 2 and G56 for program 3 and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
