Could you perhaps give us more details of the problem and your set-up (machine, motion controller, etc.)

Hi Wirez1976,

The code snippet you posted was created in Imperial (Inch) units so needs to contain G20 (which it does).

If your machine is not cutting the part the correct size then you should re-calibrate the axes. On the Settings screen click Set Steps per Unit button and follow the on-screen instructions. (Just one point that has confused some - if you tell the machine to move 25.4 it should move 25.4 not 1  )

Hi Bob,

The problem may be Mach3 version specific. I had a similar issue back in 2012 which was only resolved by adding DoOEMButton(1003) towards the beginning of my code.

Hi Craig,

I think he may be referring to the long awaited Mach4 Plasma Screen Set. ( http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,36395.0.html )

How is Mach 4?

Can it do everything Mach 3 could?

Is Mach 4 complete?

Is Mach 4 stable?

Thanks

I think your post is what they call "a loaded dice"

Craig - to the best of my knowledge, this IS the Mach3 discussion board.

This can be caused by a corruption to the .xml file. Try Operator / Restore Settings and roll back to an earlier time (before the problem occurred).

Just flicking through the forum pages today I spotted the number of views on my laser project thread at 666,666.
If we went back a few hundred years I wonder what Matthew Hopkins would have made of that number ?
