General Mach Discussion / HELP!!! ASAP!!! TIA!!! Tool display image

« on: May 05, 2017, 07:51:33 PM »

Good afternoon, I ran into an issue just now. Ok so I turned on the cnc machine and my rig up and they booted up just fine. I was also working in lazy for my next project I was about to do. In mach3 the image display was working or everything was working perfect, until my power went out out of nowhere while I was in the middle of scaling the image. Might I add I had already made sure after I posted the gcode that mach3 would show the image on the table display... so after I turned everything back on; hardware and softwares. I tried to repost my gcode image into mach3 again when I noticed that in the image display or table display nothing would show. No image no nothing. I'm pret sure i have all my settings correct... but im not so sure either. Plesde help.ty

General Mach Discussion / Yesterday no gcode limit, today 50 line gcode limit

« on: April 29, 2017, 01:11:41 PM »

Hi, I'm having an issue where mach3 only posts a limit of 50 lines of coordinates after I transfer the file from LazyCam. The day before yesterday it worked fine with no gcode limit no matter how big the file was. Now today after I set my depth, scaling, etc in LazyCam I "post code" into Mach3 I only get 50 lines of code. I've tried this already with a small image (under 500lines of code) and a larger image (500+ lines). Please help anyone. Thanks in advance!!

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 500 gcode limit

« on: April 27, 2017, 10:55:23 PM »

I have bought the license through ebay... sealed copy and all. So yeah I payed around 175$. Everything is working as the program should but I have a limit of 500 lines that Mach3 only reads the rest gets cut off... I've looked for the License Files and have both in the Mach3 folder aswell. "License", and "Mach1Lic". How can I resolve this problem hopefully without having to purchase another License.. and FYI. I'm using it off a computer with no Internet access.

General Mach Discussion / only 2 axis moving when all 3 axis are enable!!! HELP!!

« on: January 24, 2017, 06:23:29 PM »

hi, i ran into an issue after setting up my chinese cnc machine 3040 that i have purchased in ebay, and im running mach3. my issue is, the hotkeys for the differeent axis and how to enable each axis idividually to operate. My motors seem to be switched around or maybe this is because of the input/output plugins. when i hold down the right or left arrow keys for the X axis, the mach 3 program shows the z axis coordinates increasing, but what is actually moving is the table from left to right. this also happens for the spindle(Zaxis). and the Y axis has no movement at all, but i did enable it on.... someone please help me!! i cannot find a similar issue anywhere.... to recap: pres left or right arrow key for Xaxis, table moves but in mach3 shows the Zaxis coordiantes inceasing. y axis has no movement but it is turned on. and pressing page or down for Zaxis, spindle moves but Xaxis coordinates increasing in mach3 software.
