I am new to designing screens with Mach3 and I have made an example for me to work with, but why when I select start cycle it does not go through the G-Code and on the toolpath screen does not show a simulation of whats going on. I set the button to Cycle Start/Run function but its not working. What am I doing wrong? Here is my example file.


Thank You Smiley

You have that button set to OEM 1016

Select "System Function" / RUN

OEM 1016 is the "Run From Here" function.

Thank you Smiley.

I was using the software MachScreen V1.42 and not Screen4. I selected Cycle Start in MachScreen but was not working, but working with Screen4 when set to Run. Thanks again Smiley

OK, then in MachScreen you would select OEM 1000.

Do you have a reset button? You'll have to push reset before you can run code.
