I'm having some issues trying to get files created in PartWorks using any of the "head 2" Post Processors to preview properly in the ShopBot control software.
I did find that editing a head 2 PP with the following in the footer:
PREVMODE:
&my_XinHead2offset=0 'These values must remain zero for the preview to display properly.
&my_YinHead2offset=0
RETURN
Shifts the cut path lines so they are in alignment with those done on Head 1, but the cut path appears to hover over the material - it seems all Z movement is disregarded.
Consequently, if I try to preview those paths, when they render nothing shows in the "wood" of the render.
I know I can save duplicate part files for both Heads, but then if I have to tweak one, I have to do both... it gets complicated and confusing pretty quickly.
By the way I'm using the newest version of PartWorks 3.503 and the most recent control software 3.6.42.
Anyone else had this problem?
Open to all ideas of a fix.
Thanks
David
