Quick update.  Finally got ahold of a sales rep of the table.  After a few tests it was determined there must have been a bug in the program somewhere.  We cleared and re-loaded the profile in Mach3 and now everything works as it should.  The issues baffled the sales rep also.  I do appreciate the help from those who responded.  Thanks!

When I go into the axis calibration it moves 5 inches when I enter 5.  It also move 5 inches on the MDI screen.  Then when I load a GCode it runs way off like its set to mm.  Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Both MDI and axis calibration move by the same amount.

I agree it wouldn’t work.  But the screen says only to change for setTing motor units.  When calibrating the axis I tell it to move 5 and it moves 5 inches not mm.

GCode is in inches.

Mine is the same as yours, set at mm.

 I was wondering the same thing but on the settings tab when I say move five it moves 5 inches not millimeters.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Settings Keep Changing

I have an issue with Mach3 that I am scratching my head about.  I went to calibrate the the motors, I hit 5 inches and it moves 5 inches.  Every axis good.  I load a test part to run and something goes haywire and the motor steps are off.  I go to the MDI screen and hit Y1 and the motors move about 15 inches.  I then go back into the settings page and hit 5 and it now moves 15". I just can't seem to get a repeatable result.  Why do the settings keep changing?  Thanks in advance for the help.
