Version 5.2.6.7 has implemented new options for line numbering. Previous versions added line numbers in all file regarding the contents of the line. However several controllers do not handle the line numbers in all lines and the new options where implemented. To use them, the option “Add line numbers to GCode” must be checked, as below:
Depending on the settings the output change, and now several outputs can be achieved, hopefully reaching all controllers needs.
Below, the result of the settings highlighted in blue of the previous image, are shown (target controller Siemens 810T). On this example the lines N10 to N150 are hardcoded on the header section. Previously, the line numbering, wrongly duplicated the N word in those lines. Now with the option “Numbering should start in line number” the user can control from witch line the software start to number the lines. In this example, line 20 was selected that corresponds to the first N10 after the sentence %SPF 1
