General Mach Discussion / Re: Why don't work simulation offline?????Grren pen not showed

Remove Mach3 and reinstall it, run it with the default setting and it should run the simulation with out any problems.

DON'T install the mach drivers when you are asked.

By the way, the demo version will only run the first 1000 lines of the roadrunner.

Hi fred,

can you export DXF from your drawing package.

I think HPGL is scaled to fit on your printer page, you may have an option to export in 1:1 scale this may cure your problem.

It sounds more like the DXF file is metric

The bit I read was on CNCZone, some IT bloke was having a real good rant about it, its all in the end user licence that MS can come and go as they please.

I will have a look for it later and post the link.

You need to make sure notepad is set to save in .TXT format and not rich text.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: How are people finding Vista ?

« on: February 04, 2007, 04:59:11 AM »

I don't think anybody should be allowed remote access to users computers for any reason. According to what I have read Vista wont install unless you let Microsoft snoop at will.

Tangent Corner / Re: CNC Lathe

On a CNC lathe with spindle control and an index pulse you can do as many starts on a thread as you like.  Taper threads are also possible single and multi start.

If you want some examples just ask.
