Well said Roger.

Rich was not wrong when he said "If a user has the gall to use this forum knowingly using a pirated license they won't be here for long".

In the pic it shows large circles when it should be text.
Any ideas what could be causing this behavior please?

Change the IJ Mode (Config. / General Config.)

Ideally your Gcode file should contain the G90.1 / G91.1 (as appropriate) - Please refer to the Mach Manual for further details.

I don't think Art ever sleeps as he has just added a seashell wizard to his CAD/CAM software Vexx.

Hi mjscottinnc,

I had misunderstood what you meant by 'clipping' until Graham's post explaining the situation. Please ignore my earlier post.

I assume you are using the Axis Calibration function.

Try a smaller distance (0.25 for example) until you are gettin movement within your axis travel limits then follow the calibration procedure.
Increase the distance for the final calibration setting.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Help needed with Mach3/Win7

I would spend a little more $ for the Warp9 ESS which comes with full manufacturers support and back-up and is fully Mach4 compatable if you ever consider making the change in the future.

But the decision is yours.

I am thinking of a USB BOB.

Popular opinion is that Ethernet connection is preferable to USB for a BoB / Motion Controller. It would also be wise to choose a USA or EU manufactured product over a cheap Chinese one.

The Mach3 Copycat wizard only supports 3 axis.
