So converting gcode from S3d using ArcWelder gives these errors.

GPX completes the conversion though.

Had great success with this software but need to increase the steps/mm in the z axis past 1000.

Why is there a limit on this in the machineeditor.ui? I don't see that there is any reason for this? About to clone and change this variable to rebuild for myself but I figure this is an issue that other people may also have!

Cheers for making such a great app!

gcode like this:

G162 X Y F2000
G161 Z F900
G92 X0 Y0 Z-5 A0 B0
G1 Z0 F900
M132 X Y Z A B
G1 Z30

Will result in a weird generated absolute move. Another example:

G28 X Y Z
M132 X Y Z A B
G1 Z5
G161 Z F100
M132 X Y Z A B
G1 Z30

Will also fail twice.

The reason is, when GPX doesn't know the position of one of the axes (for example after M132 the bot knows where it is, but GPX does not), it will use x3g:139 rather than x3g:155 and it will send in the "current" coordinate for any axis not specified. In this case, perhaps a long way away from where the bot thinks it is.

To fix this, my intention is that if there will be any unknown axis left after the current move (some unknown axis hasn't been specified in the gcode), I'll stick with x3g:155, but issue a 0 relative move for any of those axes. So that G1 Z30 will turn into x3g:155 with all axes relative except for Z which will be absolute to steps(30mm).
