Am I going to gain $200 worth of improvement by moving to Mach4 from Mach3

In my opinion yes you will - bearing in mind the Mach4 / ESS laser support.

There are many free CAD/CAM software's available - you could perhaps try F-Engrave for starters https://www.scorchworks.com/Fengrave/fengrave.html

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 Parameters

« on: July 23, 2019, 03:24:00 AM »

However, what is the interpreter and when is it reset?

I think that is referring to the 'Reset' Button, however, there are some params. which can be reset during 'Reset' by selection in the Config / General Config page.

I know it is no answer but you are discovering some of the mysteries of Mach3

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 Parameters

Some parameters are truly persistent and saved into the .xml settings file when Mach3 is properly shut down. They are intact at the start of the next session. Some parameters are only preserved during the current session.

I do not recall ever seeing a list of which are which - perhaps the Mach3 manual may give details ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: License Updating Mach 3

« on: July 23, 2019, 01:35:42 AM »

What happens to the license? Can I simply insert the .lic file into the newly installed Mach 3

Make a back-up copy of your Mach1Lic.dat (just in case).

If re-installing Mach3 (or updating) over the top of an existing installation your license file will be preserved.
If by any chance it is not then copy your Mach1Lic.dat into the Mach3 folder.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: problem with plasma cutter touch off control.

« on: July 20, 2019, 01:33:04 AM »

So im some what having the same issue but im not as experience as you fellas.
Can you guys help a bro out maybe?
I built a plasma table with touch off head as well...all pins are correct in the software, using mach 4, sheetcam and i have an ess smooth stepper. Aaaaaaallllll i want to do is just include the touch off sequence at every cut start........and im loosing my mind here! Should there be a specially made post processor (sheetcam) for this to work? Do i have to download something from warp9 (ess) to work properly with mach 4? Or is there something im not doing correctyl in mach 4?
Any way you guys can explain this process thouroughly? 😭

Hi paul40,

Unfortunately Novusun is one of the businesses listed in our Hall of Shame for Mach3 Licence violation. As a result this forum does not support assistance with any of it's products unless you are a genuine Mach3 or Mach4 license holder.
