I bought the license last year, now today it won't let me write over 20k lines in the digitize wizard. Are licenses timed? Do I have to purchase yearly?

The digitize wizard is not part of the newfangled suite. I really dont know anything about the digitize wizard.

I bought the license last year, now today it won't let me write over 20k lines in the digitize wizard. Are licenses timed? Do I have to purchase yearly?

Which license did you buy ??

Tweakie.

They Mach3 software license. It said it would open it to unlimited coding. When I first got it, I could run the digitizer at .025 steps, some 70k lines of code. Now the smallest I can do is .05 steps. The digitizer wizard comes installed in Mach3. If I would of known I would have to buy another license for another app I wouldn't of made the purchase. I can't keep buying licenses I'm not going to use.

The Mach3 license is good for 10,000,000 lines of code. The Digitize wizard does NOT have a code limit nor does it require another license.  oBviously you have done something wrong in programing the wizard IF you are expecting more lines of code. Post the parameters that you used and I will try it here to see if it limits it here.

Chances are good that whatever you programed into the wizard does not require as many lines of code as you think.

IF you appose to buying licenses you may want to take up programing , but that is not free either.

X = 5.5 in. Y = 2.75 in. Z height .9 in. Z 0, X step .05 Y step .05 step speed 25 in min. It equals around 18k lines. When I start it. It allows me to save to a file name, if I change the step spacing to .04 is jumps to 28k lines and will not allow me to save to a file name, just starts the machine.

i have tested it here and do not find anything wrong with it. You open the Wizard then fill in the values then create the code and return to mACH3 . THE CODE IS THERE ready to run all 16,000+ lines. I then reopen the wizard put in the changed values and create the code and return to Mach3 and the new code is there ready to run. All 28,000+ lines.

I then did it again and created the code and it was in Mach3 as well all 3,000,008 lines.

So is there a setting somewhere that controls file size?

The file size is controlled by teh size of teh object being scanned and teh resolution of teh scan. The smaller teh stepover the larger the file and the larger the object the larger the file.

So I dont get, why is it not letting me save the file if it is over 20k lines, when I hit the start, it just starts the machine. If its under 20k lines, it opens the save as window and asks for a file name. There has to be something wrong in software.
