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

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 ?

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.

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.

My Controller Board is Novusun NVUM (6-Axis). I need to connect a Stepper Motor with its driver on Output Pins of the NVUM (look on the Manual). Not in Axis Pins, because I already connect 6 Motors on the Axis Pins.
