GCode Programing Rapid line colourless

PathPilot
1

Hey i am super new to programming G Code in PathPilot and have started off with a simple rectangular profile (just 4 line segments) it works well but on other operators ive used the drawing program on the console would highlight which lines are rapid and which are feed. If you could help me figure out how to change it that would be great. I have a feeling the colours may be hard coded in. The PathPilot UI has some colour-highlighting (current line, start line, etc.) so they do support different colours for different states. If they intended to also support motion vector type colouring, it seems it hasn’t been released to users, or it’s not documented.

thanks

Don

To my knowledge, this is not a feature in PP. Though I could see how it could be useful. Perhaps submit it as a feature request?

Don,

No, there is no way to change the colors of the toolpath display. Rapid moves are distinguished from feed moves by being dashed lines vs solid lines.

Thank you,
Norman

After 7 (8?) years with my machine, I have never noticed the dashed vs solid lines. Im gonna have to look for that.
