General Mach Discussion / License Updating Mach 3
« on: July 22, 2019, 09:07:24 AM »
Hi, I would like to confirm how updating Mach 3 works prior to me going to do it. How does the process work? Do I need to uninstall the current version prior to installing the new one?

This suggests you simply install over the top of the old install:

What happens to the license? Can I simply insert the .lic file into the newly installed Mach 3 and it'll just work or do I need an internet connection? (My CNC machine isn't connected to the internet so it would be a massive hassle to try to get the license activated).

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 Parameters
« on: July 22, 2019, 08:18:27 AM »
Hi,

I was wondering whether the Mach 3 paramters are persistent? When are they lost? Are they lost once the job is complete or are they only lost upon exiting Mach 3?

General Mach Discussion / Green LEDs Around Axis Buttons
« on: July 22, 2019, 08:13:10 AM »
Hi,

I use Mach 3 under XP. What do the green LEDs around the Axis Buttons mean? From what I'm seeing, these simply indicate that the axis has been referenced home. Is that correct? If so, I'm pretty sure I have never pressed that 'Reference All Home' button and yet, one of my jobs got messed up when the axis zero'd and I lost my zero position that I was using between setups. I saw the X, Y and Z axis with the green LED box around them all of a sudden. Is there some functionality that I'm not aware of that caused this? Perhaps a G-Code or something?

General Mach Discussion / Mill-Turn
« on: May 03, 2019, 12:19:22 AM »
I'm starting to look into turning machines and all I know at the moment is that there exist simple turning machines with a movable tool post, anything more complex than that is a bit over the top of my head at the moment. I haven't quite figured out what Mill-Turn is, but does Mach 3/Mach 4 support mill-turn?
