Seems to be good now in .020. Is your FRO LED working? Now that seems to be broken.

Seems to work on a non driver install but on a mill computer it wasn't sticking. Anybody else experience this?

General Mach Discussion / Ver3.042.019 CV settings not sticking

Mach will not let me turn on CV dist tolerance and keep it on.

If you make changes to CV settings make sure you close Mach and reopen it. As it seems to have problems saving these settings mid session.
If mach is not staying tight to the tool path you either need to slow down or turn on CV dist tol. The value for this is part dependent. I would guess for your part size about 0.10" would be a good place to start. Again if you make any CV settings changes close and reopen mach.

General Mach Discussion / New mach version 017

« on: November 12, 2008, 10:19:56 AM »

Is the change log listed somewhere else or is there no change log anymore?
What are the updates/fixes included in .015 vs .017?

Cutter size doesn't matter.
No scaling was used.
In mach scaling is not changed = 1:1
This code is for cutting in mm but it doesn't matter.
Visualmill 6 Pro generated the code.
Mach backplots it fine as long as IJ Mode is set to absolute in the general config. If you set it to incremental you will get something like you have with the arcs not making sense.
Its a Mach 3.42.15 bug where its not calcing the program extrema properly.
The extrema should be approximately  X min=0, Xmax=13, Ymin=- 7 , Ymax=7 (these are roundabout numbers I just rounded to a whole integer)

Screen shot of program extrema attached. It should be much smaller.
