Hi Guys:

New development version of Mach3 is online and LazyCam 2.01 as well.

The LazyCam includes the Excellon drill file importer, but its only just in, I
havent tested all the posting yet on the various test files,
it also includes some fixes to hopwfully stop the origin crashing and such that
was happening on some machines. Its more optimised in
cleaning and rechaining as well. Lots of nice reports coming in on LCam, so
whiel its still pretty young, its looking good. Drawing tools are being worked
on and we'll see how that all comes out.

Latest Mach3 development version has a few fixes. G81 was not working properly
in G98, it was rapiding up to clearance
before drilling, that shoudl now work. M60 is added that turns on posative
approach in G81 only, Ill convert it to the other canned cycles if its reported
OK.
M60P.1 tells the system to move to .1 away fromthe drilling coordinates, then
back to the actual coordinates so the approach move is always positive.
Several other small fixes not reported as bugs, but things I had on my mind.

Toolpath boundry box will not display if the 3d compass is turned off as well.
The G100 plugin wa supdated earlier this week with MPG selectable inputs,
and Ive been seeing about a bug report on small incremental moves in MPG's on a
G100. Turns out to be related to the time. Any move less than 1 ms cannot be
done by a G100. SO a move like .001 will be ignored if the feedrate is set too
high as it would finish in less than 1ms. Lower feedrate and it shoudl do small
incremental moves in MPG. Any encoder input may now be used as an MPG on the
G100.


Thanks,
