General Mach Discussion / Tool change location button

« on: September 01, 2006, 01:41:00 PM »

Hi,

This is probably very simple but I seem to be overlooking the answer. How do I change the coordinates (X,Y,Z) for the "Tool Change Location".

Is this changed within Mach 3 as a setting or are these coordinates set when I load my G-code from my pp.

Thanks in advance for everyones help.

General Mach Discussion / Visual offset in tool/job display showing

« on: June 02, 2006, 05:43:13 AM »

Hi guys,

This is a great source of info and I have learned alot but need help with a problem I am having. I am using Vcarve to generate my G code. After loading my G code into Mach 3 I notice that the graphics and text is displaying in the table and job display window with a definate visual shift. The material dimension outline and work offsets are displaying correctly in the Mach 3 table and job display window but anything else is offset pulling up and to the right. Design is centered in the material in Vcarve and when cutting the actual piece Mach 3 cuts everything centered and true.

Why would text and graphics within the material be showing a visual offset within the table/job display window if everything cuts fine? I must have a setting set up wrong but have no idea what I need to do to correct this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
