General Mach Discussion / Help please! Xp works fine------ Windows 7 does not, Help

« on: November 05, 2015, 02:57:12 PM »

I am currently running Mach 3 on an old xp machine and it works great, however the computer is about to die.  I  installed  Mach 3 on a newer Windows 7 home premium edition 32 bit system. Loaded like it should, looks like it should, driver loaded, there is a button that says setup screen , but does nothing. It's like there is no set up screen on the new one. The xp machine setup let me choose between mm and inches. The machine moves in all directions, but is limited in travel. I can not change between mm and inches, so the tool shows mm. When the travel stops it says softlimit system movement aborted. It is like I am missing something. I loaded the Xp machine years ago and had a problem then, but have no idea how I got it to work. I purchased the machine and Mach 3 from Minitec years ago, I have emailed them, but have not heard back. Help would be greatly appreciated. Joe

General Mach Discussion / Crop circles in Cut2d

« on: April 16, 2011, 10:29:10 AM »

I have been using Mach 3 for years with an old program that creates gcodes and is no longer working. I am trying to replace it with Cut2d, but when I open my file in Mach it has extra circles. Tony at Cut2d said that In Mach3 you need to change the Circular Arc I J settings to be Incremental moves. He sent me a picture of the general logic configuration page that has an IJ mode. My logic page looks like the picture I have uploaded. I am in dire straits and need to get this program to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My mill is down! Thanks Joe
