General Mach Discussion / Re: Homing a machine without limit switches installed?

Sorry to say, but I think you need to install home / limit switches - otherwise how can you expect the PC know the exact position of the machine ?

‘K’ for not working

 

(The Search facility has been down for more than 4 weeks now so it may be even more serious than 'K')

A little cranky is a misnomer, Broken is accurate.

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

« on: December 11, 2018, 01:38:01 AM »

Hi Chuck,

Generally, it is just the .xml file which has become corrupt. Before re-installing Mach3 try rolling back to an earlier .xml (either Operator / Restore Settings or manually select an .xml from the xmlbackups folder which is from a date before the problem began [you need to change the file extension to .xml and copy it to the Mach3 folder]).

If that fails then make a secure backup of your existing Mach3 folder then do the re-install but create a new profile and enter all your settings manually rather than just copy over what could be a corrupt .xml.

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

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
