I have a program that has some problems. I've found a code that I think is wrong so I went intothe Gcode editor and changed it. It worked fine when I tested it but when I reopened the program I noticed that it had reverted to the original code. How do you save the code changes?
Yes I'm using the open builds blackbox. I've made the change by deleting the code and typing in the new code and then clicking the save button which goes to my downloads file and I click save. The next time I open it up it still reverts back to the original number. Ive added a couple of screenshots which show the -10 code which I want to change to 15. Thanks for you help.
If that code was produced using the Openbuilds post processor for Fusion why don't you change it there? @sharmstr - I'm on my phone - have you got a screenshot of that to help @jbell? Alex.
Yes, just enter the correct values in Start/End position in the Post options (NB read the help tooltip - always Negative, remember to Home - Fusion post uses Machine Coordinates and Work Coordinates both) - no need to hand edit Gcode
I just tested saving edited gcode files and it works fine. Also, why are you putting a positive value? Z15 will go past Z's highest point. The line you are changing uses G53 which is machine coordinates, not work coordinates.
You are using an older version of the postprocessor, please upgrade as soon as you can from Releases · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-Fusion360-Postprocessor as the latest version has some bug fixes and improvements that your old version does not have. How and why G53 moves are used by the Fusion360 post is explained here Home, Fusion360 and G53 Z moves
Yep, Dave came through again. My problem was that I didn't home first. Once I did that all the code worked perfect, I didn't need to change anything. Thanks everyone for your help.
