I didn't find xlm backups found plasma xlm files but know how to use them and really don't think this file is what you're talking about. see attachment..I also reinstalled mach 3 since trouble,sure that will make a difference.
Also noticed yellow lite blinking on dwell and spindle speed that's gcode gets to m3 and stops

My interests are women and cars,I have a wonderful woman,that leaves cars boy do I like cars. That's why a got the plasma cutter.
I live in las vegas and last year at S.E.M.A. show seen my first plasma table working,and said gota have one.Having trouble with software (CHECK OTHER POSTS) If you can help thank you.
I 'm looking forward to being part this group.

I'm very new to cnc. Have a plasma table I build from a camcutcnc kit with a Lincoln's 25 plasma cutter. At first I was able to cut several of the sample gcodes using mach3 that came with kit Then got sheetcam to try some dxf files that's when everything went to sh...... :somehow I've change configuration in mach3 first while loading gcode the screen went to a blank screen.when I finally got back to main screen the lights next to x,y,z,and a wouldn't turn green.Again I was able to get X,Y,Z to turn green but not A.Now when after loading gcode and starting cycle it stops at M3 if I hit start again the gcode resumes but not the plasma.
I think M3 must turn on or off plasma cutter.This is how new I am don't know g or m codes and other term of the industry (e i  DRO'S ,THC,AND WORK OFFSETS to say a few)
CAN ANYONE MAKE SENSE OF MY PROBLEM AND HELP
THANKS
Lannie
