Mach4 General Discussion / New user - ToolPath Not Showing
« on: September 15, 2017, 01:05:52 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and just recently completed a Denford Triac conversion to mach 4 with an ESS. I have made one part so far with the new setup and what an improvement over the +20 year old electronics that were previously used. Unfortunately though, since I have installed the software, I have been unsuccessful in getting the toolpath window to show anything. It simply stays gray in color, even when clicking "regen toolpath".
I must be missing something? I think I may try reinstalling the software. If I need to do this, how do I save my preferences/settings? Also, for what it is worth, I am using Fusion 360 with the Mach3 post processor.
Also, kind of unrelated, but is there a way to set defaults for buttons? I like to have the "soft limits" button enabled, but I have to enable it every time I boot the software. Half the time I forget and hit the axis limit switches.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
