General Mach Discussion / Trouble With Tool Path Window

« on: May 12, 2017, 08:29:49 AM »

Hi folks, I am new user of Mach3.  I have one issue with Mach3 that I haven't been able to figure out - after loading g code I only see the tool path for a cut file while scrolling the mouse wheel for a split second after each view enlargement occurs - then the window goes blank.  It also flashes on, then off, at major tool moves (touch-offs maybe?) while the program is running.  The cut files run fine - I just can't follow the progress in the window.  Its not that big a deal until you have a fault occur and want to locate the line it happened on - you can't follow the tool path progress in the window as you scroll through the g code to the point it matches physically where the torch is when I pressed stop because the window is blank. 

I am using a custom screen, designed by CandCNC for plasma tables but it seems to work fine on my office desktop, where I test out the g code files I create.  It just doesn't work on the computer that is dedicated to my plasma table.  Has anybody seen this issue before?  Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks for your help.
