Hi again Folks and Happy New year.
I finally had everything where i wanted it, and went to the top and saved setting ( but it does not save ) I keep finding this out due to the Lovely Microsoft way it freezes up the computer, Not Responding, etc to the point where i need to reboot. ( Unlike my Mac , HINT HINT ! )
Even though it was saved, all settings are lost.
Any advice?
Thx Huh

I dont think Mach fully saves the config until you actually shut Mach down.

hi again ! actually it turns out that the file was set to read only.
But now I have another issue! I wrote to Tom at Candcnc and I guess I was to use the Bladerunner version of Mach3 or my system wont work.
Problem is, I copied all ports and pins and homing limits. But can not get the machine to move anymore. I am beside myself, I almost had it all set. can you check and see this xml if you can see a problem? I hope this is the file.
Thx
Rob

Likely you need to set the steps per unit up to suit your  motors/drives and maybe the accel and Vel settings as well.
