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.

Hi Folks,

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

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 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.
