Can send M666 command?

I've just acquired S3D and am trying to migrate over from Cura. I calibrate my printer using the M666 command. I'm able to enter other commands into the command window but for some reason when I try to enter this one it doesn't do anything. No error or anything but it never enters the command window. This works fine with Cura. The specific command I'm trying to send is:

M666 X-1.20 Y-0.38 Z-0.71

Thanks!

Re: Can send M666 command?

I don't think the software stops you from sending a command, unless it thinks the printer isn't ready for it yet (for example, if it hasn't responded and is still processing the last command)

Have you tried putting it in your starting script and printing the gcode file? Does it work then?

Re: Can send M666 command?

I don't think its a problem of not being ready. I can execute a G28 or M501 immediately before and after attempting to send the M666 and they work fine.

I'll try putting it in the startup GCODE tonight but I think it would help if someone else could try the M666 command and see if they get similar results.
