General Mach Discussion / Re: Advice sought on a version upgrade of Mach3
« on: February 28, 2010, 12:12:59 PM »
ah thanks, that's helpful.  I take it that I should install the new software in c:\Mach3 (I had put it in a folder in Progam Files) and just copy in the xml files from the old to the new.

I'm concerned that I could overwrite or lose the configuration information.  The previous owner had set up the servos etc. and I would not like to lose his settings if possible. I haven't been able to find where that is kept.

Any help is most appreciated.  :)

General Mach Discussion / Advice sought on a version upgrade of Mach3
« on: February 24, 2010, 08:34:36 AM »
Hi, I have a small CNC mill using servos that I bought 2nd hand on eBay.  It uses Mach3 release 2.45 and I am wondering about upgrading to the current version.   

Are there any things to bear in mind when doing this?  Pitfalls?  Could any files or settings get lost?  I am a newbie in machine control.  I should add that the mill does have a problem, I think that one of the axes is not initialising properly, and I'm thinking that it's better to investigate using the current version, 3.042... 

Any thoughts for or against approach that would also be welcome.
