Hi to all
I just acquired Mach3 from a German company.
Because that I have some newbie questions.
I already find out that changing the screen I can make it to be in English, but the upper menus still in German.
1. Is there any way to make the entire Mach3 to be in English?
2. I have a tool height sensor but don't know how to make it work. Is any configuration required?
The sensor is this one http://www.bzt-cnc.com/product_info.php/info/p397_BZT-Tool-PushbuttonTool-Length-Compensation.html/XTCsid/1b654dace520fde4f5c7cf924d777c68 (http://www.bzt-cnc.com/product_info.php/info/p397_BZT-Tool-PushbuttonTool-Length-Compensation.html/XTCsid/1b654dace520fde4f5c7cf924d777c68)
3. I'm also trying to implement cycles - call another NC/Tap file - but it's not working...
Is there something worn with this code?
M00
G56
G51 X1.0000 Y1.0000 Z1.0000
M98 (PGM\G54_FLAT8_L75.nc)
M00
G57
G51 X1.0000 -Y1.0000 Z1.0000
M98 (PGM\G55_FLAT8_L75.nc)
M5
M9
M30
also tried with absolute paths but still don't wok.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried downloading it from here?

It does not work here either. The remote call does not work AND it does not work if you call it from the sub directory either.
1 it does not allow calls except from the sub directory
2 Even then it does not work with a M99 return, you get error "Return call with no sub in effect"
3 nor will it work with no M99 as it will not return to the main.
Just a thought

>>> Have you tried downloading it from here?
Yes I tried. It appears that it doesn't read the licence from the german version, because only works as demo.
>>> It does not work here either. The remote call does not work AND it does not work if you call it from the sub directory either.
??? So it works or not?
>>> it does not allow calls except from the sub directory
So the beahovior should be M98 (G54_FLAT8_L75.nc) instead of M98 (PGM\G54_FLAT8_L75.nc). Tried... not work
>>>Even then it does not work with a M99 return, you get error "Return call with no sub in effect"
>>> nor will it work with no M99 as it will not return to the main.
So the file G54_FLAT8_L75.nc should have a M99 at the end? Also tried that. Still not work.
Thanks

IT appears broken the only way I can call the sub is for the sub to be IN the sub directory AND not have a m99 to return. BUT then it will never return to the main program so it appears broken.
Sorry
