Title: Mach3 Wizzards not working out as planned
Post by: PeterJensen on February 21, 2015, 10:42:09 AM

Hello, i just purchased mach3 after using the demo for several months.

I had hoped that the registered version would have better working wizzards, but i find that there are still many wizzards that i simply cannot use.

Im talking about the wizzards that come with mach3 not the extra add-on once.

For example the "circular bolt pattern" when i press "post code" i always get the error "Line 27 mismatch" but it wont even show me the code, so
i cannot even debug and whats wrong with line 27. I have issues like this with several wizzards, are anyone else having these issues?

Or what do i do to fix it?

Peter,
Much as I like Mach 3 as a controller and worked for several years writing G code I think that manual programming is a thing of the past. I got CamBam and in a short time I got to where I import or draw a little, select some operations and enter some data, view the toolpaths and cut metal. Most of the time I don't even dry run. I also then have a file I can run again, and can change tool sizes and such with a simple toolpath regeneration. I have CamBam on the same computer as Mach3.

Works fine here with your setting and xml although I see you are using a pirated version of Mach.

Well the xml you attached is the wrong one.
Please attach the correct one so I can test with the configuration you are currently using.

I can assure you it is not the correct xml or I would not ave seen it was a pirated version.
If you look on the first page in Mach you will see the profile name, you need to look for a XML with that name.
