General Mach Discussion / Help needed to engrave emblem...

« on: March 31, 2021, 12:36:03 AM »

  I have a Syil X6 VMC with Mach3 and ArtSoft version 3.00 and I need someone to walk me through how to load a picture of a minibike (hand drawn) into my machine and convert it into G-code so the image can be cut on large plastic key fobs.  Would someone please help me with this project?  It's for a minibike reunion.

Thank you kindly,
Mariah

General Mach Discussion / Return Called with no sub in effect...Looping

« on: April 07, 2011, 11:10:03 PM »

When I single block through the last few lines of my subroutine there is an error message that says  "Return Called with no sub in effect...Looping"  M99 is only placed once at the end of the subroutine, what does this message mean?

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Turn closes when loading program...

« on: April 03, 2011, 11:22:49 PM »

  One part program that I have wrote and have run on my lathe several times is now causing Mach3 to shut down when I try to reload it.  While it is scaning through the g code it just goes blank and shows my desktop.  When this happens I must run the driver test to get Mach 3 to reopen.  Other part programs load as they should with no problem.
  What happened here?  Can someone please help me with this?  I need to get some parts made.

Thanks,
Mariah
