HI Guys,
I finally have it working correctly. I wiped Mach 3 off the machine completely and reinstalled and now it works fine. I don't know what the issue was before. Strange. Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.

Martyn.

I checked the settings and all are okay. I re installed Mach 3 in a different folder and even renamed the folder but all still works the same. Is there a possibility that the install file has become corrupted?

No sorry, it is a PC. I wanted to upgrade the computer I used for my CNC Router. The old one worked but it was well.... old. Not enough ram and the processing speed was terrible. I picked up a used computer at the local second hand computer store. It runs Mach very well but it just will not let me alter the numbers in the DRO's. I am going to try and reinstall Mach into a different location and see if that works.

I am using the same monitor, mouse, and keyboard as before just the CPU changed.

All that happens when I click on the DRO is that is becomes a shade lighter. I tried re-installing Mach over itself as you suggested but ended up with the same result. Any other suggestions?

RC,
if by Wok Coordinates you mean that the Machine Coordinates button is not outlined in red, that is where I am.

I just changed the computer that I use to run my CNC Router. When I loaded the copy of Mach 3 that I have ,R 2.63, onto the new computer, I noticed a change. It seems that I can no longer change the values in the DRO's on the Program Run screen. Before when I clicked on the DRO I could alter the value and run from there. Now I can't. What do I have to change or do to allow this?

Thanks,

Martyn.

It is okay I figured that part out. I will have to see if I can get some shielded wire and switches there is way too much noise and it keeps tripping the prox switches so it will not home properly.

Thanks for all your help, with luck I may have this up and running this week.

I did that and it definitely helped. When I was on the diagnostics screen I could see the green squares for the prox switches flashing in a random order. How can I get rid of the noise, what is the best way to shield the switches and or wiring?

I also tried to auto calibrate the axis. When I tried to input a value such as 2 inches it would not accept anything from the keypad. I know the keypad is working okay, why will it not accept any value?

I am using the standard screen set. What is the XML and how do I get it?
