General Mach Discussion / Crosshairs and Home line
« on: December 20, 2016, 01:26:56 AM »
Hello there,
I am currently setting up a CNC router and have struck some problem with a couple of things ,
I have installed several Mach3 application on CNC before but those where older version of Mach3.
I am using now a Mach3 Version D1. 90.038 as recommended by the CNC machine manufacturer.
All is well apart from couple of things
1. I used to have Cross hairs in the Tool path window, and those moved along with the cutter in the display, Handy feature i liked
Now there is a Yellow cross hair in the home position but it does not move along with the cutter as the job progresses.
If i pause the run they Cross hair will jump to the last position but stays there when i recommence the cutting.
Any ideas what is going on here, Something in the Config but i am unable to find it.
2. There used to be a White bold line the would appear in the Tool path window when the job was finished and it would indicate as the cutting head returned to home position, now there is none
Just an indication the job is finished by the G Code jumping back to first line.
I would appreciated very much if some of you experts may assist me with these problems
Thanks
Einar
