I did a job using JCode last night and it seems to be almost perfect for what I needed!

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the replies, I will check out the JCode plug in. I am hoping to be able to jog a webcam around a part and record the points in a cad program, then stitch the points together to create a dxf drawing for plasma or flame cutting. I don't need perfect accuracy, actually on most parts within .1000 is fine.

Thanks again, Steve

General Mach Discussion / how to record points?

« on: January 25, 2011, 01:14:11 AM »

Hopefully this won't be too stupid of a question...
I would like to be able to jog my machine to a position on the table and record that as a point, to be imported into a cad program.
I have been playing with the digitizing wizards but they all seem to be for Z axis probing. If I could have a key command to record the x and y position in a text file that would be perfect!

Thanks for any ideas.   Steve

General Mach Discussion / Hesatation? after arc move

« on: September 13, 2006, 01:55:01 AM »

Not sure how to word this but I'll try......I am using Mach 3 to run a servo driven burning machine and it just started stopping briefly or hesetating after an arc move.
   It doesn't stop the program, but pauses for a fraction of a second. At 150 ipm it is quite jerky. I don't remember changing anything........ But being new at this I can't say for sure!
     Thanks in advance, Steve
