Title: My Newb Questions Thread
Post by: Coils on October 07, 2012, 03:20:45 PM

I'm hoping I can use this thread to ask all my stupid questions until I learn this stuff.

This one should be simple enough

I see a lot of videos and screen shots of the Mach program filling the monitor, on my 19" it has several inches around the edges and it won't fill the screen. If it's in a window of it's own and I stretch the window the Mach screen doesn't get any larger, and if I click on the square in the upper right of the window to make it full screen and it still doesn't fill the screen. I tried changing the screen resolution/desk top size in Windows several times but it still does the same thing.
What am I missing here?

This has to do with the licenses

I also bought the Wizards add-on thing
Where do you put the WizLic.dat file?

The wiz license goes in the same directory as the Mach3 license.

In General Config page you will find in the lower right side a check box for AUTO SCREEN ENLARGE or something of that nature Check it. Save out then restart MACH3.

OK on the dat file

OK on the full screen thing too, but had to try it a few times before it took

Thanks BR549
