The only thing I found so far is the Lock Dros in general cofig is checked. Still looking.
Another note, the XML I just downloaded is set to inch native units.

What version of Mach 3? When I have a reading of 1 inch in the Dro and change to MM it then reads 25.4mm. The problem with the AB&C axis intrest me. I think you will have to set up a mm profile. Mach doesn't care what you set your units to in motor tuning. Inches, mm, degrees, revolution, etc. I assume if you chose to change to mm in the settings page and your native is in inches, it just does the math to convert these. I would think that would include all axis. Post your xml and we can play with it.

Hugo, what version of Mach are you runnig? My dros change from inches to mm when I set it to mm on the settings page. What do you think about setting up a metric profile where the native units would be MM? you can have more than one profile. I understand you want to set it up in inches so it will be exact. If you set a profile up with native MM you can get your units set closer to exact than most ballscrews would be I think.

Well first off, you couldn't tell the wife, that would defiantly put you in the Crazy Person group. But, knowing Art is not greedy at all, he would probably.........................................................................................

















say I'm sorry. 

The way I see it, if you can help others, come on this forum and do that. I think this is what we should do to earn the right to use Mach. This lets Art and Brian concentrate on the things we all want. A killer controller for $160.00  . Art has made it legal for poor people to have this much fun. I hope he makes more money than Elvis.

Bob, It's pretty simple. If you use more than one copy to make money (two machines) then you need to buy another licenses. If not Art doesn't mind you having a copy on the test and tune PC. He is wonderful about that. It seems the bargins of Mach never end doesn't it.

Thanks Brian, I think he still has some rough spots to work out. If he needs help, I think we will hear from him. If we can't get it, we'll call our big brother Brian. He can beat anything.
