In Config. General Config. change the JI Mode
then Regen. the Toolpath Display.

Ideally your Gcode should always contain the G90.1 / G91.1 as appropriate.

Have you tried clip-on ferrites at each end of the USB cable ?
How long is the USB cable ?

Hi Desert Eagle,

Welcome to the forum.

DotG was originally intended for impact engraving so the actual ‘dot’ is produced when the X axis is stationary. The axis motion is basically stop – start.  To enable DotG operation with a laser then a dummy axis (axis B) was used to trigger the M10/M11 commands. This article attempts to explain the M10/M11 commands and how axis movement (any axis) is necessary for their operation.  http://hobbycncart.com/publ/cikkek/mach3_temaju_cikkek/switching_a_laser_under_mach_control/8-1-0-29

Mach3 version .066 may not be the best version for you to be using. The overall opinion of the forum is that version .062 is best. ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Mach3/Mach3Version3.043.062.exe

The plugin delay, after the movement to the left, is something I have been meaning to correct but, like so many other things, it never happened – perhaps one day I will do it. You can make a reduction in this delay by operating the plugin in constant velocity mode.
The plugin writes directly to the Mach3 engine so no separate Gcode is available for viewing or editing.
The plugin uses a constant 40uS pulse width (this does not change) it is total number of pulses per pixel (determined by the pixel value) which regulates the laser power or burn.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ssun,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not certain that there are enough forum members who wish to communicate in Persian but the response to your posting will tell.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: mach 3 to 4

« on: April 06, 2017, 02:13:41 AM »

thanks Tweakie.  can i ask you to once again address computers that are compatible but do not have a separate video card, having instead "integrated" video?

I suppose it depends on the RAM available to the integrated video and the size (graphics complexity) of the particular Gcode file being run but...
Large Gcode files may suffer problems which can generally be overcome by switching off the Mach3 Toolpath Display or by fitting a separate Graphics card with greater (perhaps 1 GB or so) RAM memory. My choice would be to just fit a PCI graphics card.

« on: April 06, 2017, 02:01:28 AM »

The use of pound variables is not fully documented in the Mach3 manuals so information is a bit sketchy. Certainly the Common Variables #500 to #999 are written to the .xml file and therefore remembered at switch-off and will keep their values until such time as they are changed.

I have never actually tried it but I am sure that terms like  #var1 or #my_var_1  are not allowed.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 mill truncating data

« on: April 05, 2017, 10:07:03 AM »

If you are running Mach3 Mill in Demo mode then there is a 500 line limit to the Gcode that can be displayed and run.
Purchasing a license will remove this limitation. http://www.machsupport.com/shop/mach3/
