Tile / Repeat G-Code?

[Tenson]

Blimey that got my head twisted Jazz! I'll have to read the links first I think. Thanks though, I'm sure it will be helpful when I understand it.

I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a simple button to do this in Dolphin? :)

What exactly are you wanting to do.?

Like someone mentioned nesting may be your easiest answer if you want simple.? Thou often nesting comes has an extra option along requiring more Cash.!!

If for instance you just want 4 or 6 parts out of one sheet then do like John suggested and use work offsets. It's very easy to do just set your workoff sets in Mach then either copy code 4 times replacing G54 in each with a new offset. Or better still just put the code in subroutine then after each return put the new work offset.
Something like this but you'll after set the work offsets in Mach's offset list first.

G21 G40 G49 G54 G80 G90 G91.1

m98 p1000
g55
m98 p1000
g56
m98 p1000
g57
m98 p1000
m30

o1000 (subroutine)
Your G-code
m99

Yup.



Use the repeat command, 5th up from the bottom on the left, three diamonds, looks like a Renault badge but unlike a Renault it works.
