    Vac clamp gcode?

    Anyone happen to know the correct G/M code for turning the vac clamping on or off?

    I can press F11 on the keypad and it manually comes on and off, but it would be good to set it in the program.

    Additionally ... while I'm on .. all my jobs come up on the controller as "untitled job" .. it would be nice to send them down with the jobname ... any clues as how to do that?

    haven't a clue about the gm codes but you can try writing a simple program using notepad changing the m codes for mist and such to see if one of them works. open a cnc file and just use the beginning lines but add the different m codes one at a time. if it doesn't work cancel the job and try another m code. at least it's worth a try
    as far as the untitled problem. in the job log, is it also listed as untitled or the job name?
    wish I could help more.
