You would think the prop,e at ArtSoft would have put up a sticky to inform the great unwashed and to prevent people getting the knickers in a twist

Good point Stuart, consider it done.     http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38933.msg262556.html#msg262556

Hi Folks,

This forum is currently undergoing a re-think on layout, content, etc.  and you are invited to make your suggestions / comments here;  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38649.0.html

Some functions (such as search and link re-directs, etc.) may be a little cranky or broken until it is all sorted

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Windows 10 update -- don't do it

« on: December 10, 2018, 01:39:46 AM »

Hi PriSim,

Mach3 will only operate via the Parallel Port if you are using a 32 bit OS with Win7 (or older). https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/

Unfortunately the forum Search facility has been broken for some time now - perhaps, one day, it will be fixed.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: code - while ismoving

« on: December 08, 2018, 02:46:57 AM »

do I need to place a while ismoving loop in between code statements with no other script statement between them ?

Yes.

From my experience and to be on the safe side the;

While IsMoving()
Wend

statements should follow every Code statement.

In Config / General Config.   change the IJ Mode.

Ideally, all Gcode files containing arcs should specify the G90.1 or G91.1 (as appropriate).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 errors Art Code 3336 and 8877

Hi,

The forum's Search facility is currently off-line.

Unfortunately, forum support for the CNC 6040Z is wearing a bit thin at the moment…

(1)   The CNC 6040Z software plugin does not support all of the Mach3 functions correctly and the Chinese originators fail to support their product with updates.
(2)   The CNC 6040Z USB software disc also includes a Pirate Mach3 license.
