Drilling: can't set peck retract [SOLVED]

[Giulio Buccini]

As reported in this post, the retract problem is still there.

I have a retract value of 3.0 mm:

But the generated gcode (mach3/4 postprocessor) always contains R 0.0 no matter what value was set.

the retract problem is still there.

I tried your file.

I can confirm that version 0.20 (release) shows the error. A very recent version 0.21 is correct.

I do not know when it was fixed or if a backport will include the fix.

Ok. I'm going to download the latest weekly build (Conda)

I do not know when it was fixed or if a backport will include the fix.

The fix was merged 15 days ago so I guess it's in the weekly build now.
I just now made the suggestion to backport it.

Problem fixed.
I have downloaded the 0.21 appimage (Conda, 2022-07-17) and the problem has disappeared. Great!
