General Mach Discussion / Import dxf not in 'File' drop down menu

« on: May 20, 2013, 11:05:36 AM »

I only have;
- load gcode
- lazy cam
- entib
- close files
- exit

Do I have to load a plugin or wizard or something else?
The manual in section 8 indicates I need to go to load file import dxf,  but don't have that option, 

Any ideas out there?

Machine runs fine,  wizards and all else that I have tried works ok but no dxf.

Please help,

Regards,

DarylS

Checked the encoders again this AM,  all working OK.   My own stupidity, errors that were the problem.

Got feedback from Larry late yesterday,  normal to see just under 5v on each encoder input pin,  "There will be almost 5 volts on all the encoder inputs, because they have pullup resistors.."

Now I'm excited to dig into this again before the Grandkids wake up in the AM.

I have been converting a YCM-30 and have reached the point of testing the encoders (US Digital E5 1000 CPR no index) but cannot get anything but 0000 from the M command in hyper terminal.  Upon investigation, I discovered 5v from the power supply pin (to the encoder) but also by accident about 4.6v on each of the A,B,A-,B- also (which definitely doesn't seem correct).  Anyone that can check their cards for this condition I would surely appreciate. 

I only have a few more days to be able to work on this conversion before I travel again for work, so any help right away would be greatly appreciated.  I called Larry Kenny but I think he may be off for the holidays.

Best regards,
