General Mach Discussion / #variable use in Mach3

« on: June 02, 2012, 08:26:53 PM »

Does Mach 3 support #variable use in programming. The simulation toolpath in Mach doesn't seem to like it.
Here is an example below.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / #variable / macro programming

« on: February 24, 2012, 12:35:08 PM »

I would like to write a few programs for simple tasks using #variables. What #'s can I use without srewing anything up? And are they permanent until overwritten. If anyone has examples of simple macros using # variables I would appreciate them.

Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 update on Tormach Mill

« on: October 17, 2011, 08:34:34 PM »

I am trying to update to new revision, so I downloaded and overwrote my current Mach3. The new mach3 will open but is only running in "Demo Mode". How do I apply my current licence to the new version and get out of demo mode.
Thanks in advance
