Post by: Hafco on April 04, 2011, 02:03:54 AM

Hello all.

Im not sure if i have posted this in the right section hope i have, anyway i have a sieg lathe that is running mach 3, it is set to millimeters and at the moment the machine is machining to 4 decimal places.

how do i change it to 2 or three, accuracy isnt a real issue, im just having a couple of glitches with he wizards trying to match arcs with so many decimal places

thanx in advance for your help

regards
Grant

You need to edit the format of the DRO's in a screen designer. You'll need to edit each one individually.

However, I believe that this will only change what is displayed. Internally, Mach3 will still use much higher precision.
