General Mach Discussion / Re: Is MACH able to run on this hardware?

« on: May 18, 2016, 04:28:49 AM »

I think the answer is Yes, Mach3 can do it (but it has yet to be independently proven).

You have linked to one of Richard's videos and he has devoted much time to developing a plugin for Mach3 and one of his related threads is here; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,32107.0.html

I hope there is another way.

If you are unable to access your HD to retrieve your license file then contact Licensing http://www.machsupport.com/contact-us/ they will tell you what information you need to provide for them to send you a duplicate license file.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Very odd !!! Multi pass holes are stepped

« on: May 17, 2016, 08:15:02 AM »

Just a thought but check your Aspire generated Gcode -  if each subsequent pass uses identical Code (excepting the Z position) then it is likely to be a mechanical issue with your machine.

Your license is called Mach1Lic.dat and it is located in the Mach3 folder. Copy this file and paste it into you new Mach3 folder.

Just a thought...

Use Windows Device Manager to check the Port Address's of both LPT1 & LPT2. Then check that the correct Port Address's have been entered in Mach3 for Port #1 and Port #2.

Forum suggestions and report forum problems. / Re: Error with duplicate name attachments, loses post completely.

I appreciate your pain.

Our forum posting has been that way for many years now, however, there is a work-around...
When the event occurs, if you click on ‘back’ you get the chance to copy your posting’s text. This can then be pasted directly into the next posting attempt (or to file etc.).

Perhaps not ideal (but until such time as the system is changed)

I doubt it, however, install Mach3 then run the DriverTest and see what results you get - you may be lucky.
