Title: MACH 3: Errors with post processor file types in V Carve Pro
Post by: Colescustoms on January 22, 2018, 06:48:56 PM

Trying to get some support from the Mach team. I recently switched my designing and toolpaths using V Carve Pro.

The post processor i'm using for a general cut out is

MACH 2/3 ARCS.INCH..

Now, everything should be smooth right? No.. not in this case. Sometimes the machine runs the g code just fine and other times it'll start to run, then it'll stop and pop up an error (see pic). Now to solve this issue, i ignore the error, click start (again) then it starts to cut fine. If i click "close" in the error box, it will shut the entire program down.

Now what i dont get, is i'm using Mach 3 the run my toolpaths. But in the error box it says "MACH 4 is having issues blah blah blah, click here if you want us to ruin your day".

WHY IS IT SAYING MACH 4 WHEN I'M USING MACH 3!!!! Howwww do i get this error to stop entirely, cause it is discomforting to continue running my toolpaths when theres an error on my screen.

There is something really odd going on there.

Can you attach your .xml file.

Bottom right of main screen is your profile. In Mach3 folder copy <your profile>.xml and rename it to cole.xml and attach it to your post using Reply then the Additional; Options tab.
