Is there a way to always post the X and Y positions even when they do not change on a move?
Example, If I cut a 1 inch square from 0,0 I get;
X.0 Y0.0
Y-1.0
X-1.0
Y0.0
X0.0
Would like to get;
X0.0 Y0.0
X0.0 Y-1.0
X-1.0 Y-1.0
X-1.0 Y0.0
X0.0 Y0.0
I know that the machine knows where it is, but I like to be able to see it. Especially in a line of drilled holes.
Thanks.

Re: Always show X and Y positions
I will try again. Windows 10 or Linux Mint 20, QCAD 3.27.8.0 and attaching posts for the two machines I work with.

Thanks.
You can add an exclamation mark to a variable name to force it to be always output even if unchanged:
I.e. change for example

Code: Select all
this.linearMove = "[N] [X] [Y] [F]";
