Cut Path Not Following Gcode

There is a file called imperial_startup.ngc (or metric_startup.ngc) that sets G64 P0.04, it should have been G64 P 0.004. The metric version is correct at G64 P0.1

So once you make this fix I won't have to manually add it to each gcode file?

While Phill does a great job of setting default operating conditions I will continue to set G64 to the correct values in my the G code preamble and at tool changes with my PP.

That is wise to do.
When hitting E-stop in linuxcnc, the G64 P setting is reset to default and one end up with round corners again.

It is a known bug github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/177 and I just verified it is still there.

Haken,

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that bug. Just to confirm, if it's listed in the ini RS274 startup code section it will be read as the default and behave correctly after estop. Correct? Reason I'm asking is I'm not loading the startup g code program that axis normally starts up with.

No, I didn't mean the ini file default, I meant the default before the ini file which is I think no G64 P setting at all.
Easy to test with for example this snippetRun it, then hit e-stop and run it again. The second time there will be round corners in the path because the G64 setting is lost.

One isn't supposed to know about every bug, but I happened to find it and tried to understand what is going on in the code but it would take more time than I currently could spend. I settled on adding a line "G64 P0.01" in the post processor I use.

No, haven't reported it, but there is already a bug report on this github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/177 and there seems to be a ready solution for it waiting to get pulled. For some reason work on this topic seems to have stopped some half a year ago. From what I can find on github.

Sometimes I dont look enough before asking.
