G-code Carbide Motion 5 G20 not working

[just_Adam (Adam Solis)]

Using The Carbide Motion 5 download… I have an issue with trying to use inches but it defaults to mm.

Ex. Turn On , Connect, Initialize, Rapid move to SW position. (Settings is set to use inches)

What I would like to do is move the machine to a specified position in inches.

So @ SW position, I Zero All, and now origin is at SW position.

In the MDI COMMAND LINE, I enter G91 G20 G0X0.586Y1.562 -->ENTER,
Expected movement should be .586 inches right, 1.562 Up. Actual movement is in (mm).

The Work Around:

I would enter the converted units as G91 G20 G0X14.875Y39.675 and I achieve the desired results.

**How Do I fix my code to use inches on the input? I have also tried $13=1 but no joy ??? **

Hi @just_Adam,

Welcome to the community !

Carbide Motion is known to intercept some of the G-code commands (for the good of the less experienced users and what dangerous things they may do in the MDI command line ).
I replicated the same behavior, so it must filter out the G20 commands or something.
Anyway, just add a single slash character at the beginning of the line and it will go straight through to GRBL, and then it will work as expected.
