Have you tried posting the g-code as is, and then scale it in Mach 2/3?
You would have to take into consideration that you should also scale down the bit.
Cheers!

That is smart, only thing is once I tried to use Mach 3 scale feature and it did not work.
I was most likely doing it wrong.

I noticed all the British Products VCarve, ArtCam (Insignia) seems to have similar GUIs...Am I wrong?

I loved the Demo, but I could not really test it because if you size the graphics you cannot make a toolpath.
I am working in a very small envelope on a micro mill.

Registrate basicamente l'accelerazione lavorare ai punti mancanti di inizio del motore. Fate lo stesso per la velocità. Faccio funzionare il motore di andata e d'inversione molto rapidamente per mezzo del miei pollice e prima barretta, per vedere il tempo di reazione. Ricordisi di: Selezioni l'asse per mezzo del tasto con il relativo nome. Usi su e giù le chiavi di freccia. Risparmi le regolazioni prima di muoversi verso l'asse seguente.

Basically you adjust the acceleration till motor start missing steps. You do the same for the velocity.

I run the motor forward and reverse very quickly using my thumb and first finger, to see the response time.

What is you native language, maybe I can translate.

Yeah I keep forgetting. Ran a cut today again with WinWord and a bunch a stuff loaded in memory.
Right now my work is purely experimental so it is good to see a couple of worst case or if not just less than ideal conditions.

Already my choice of computer system is less than what I wanted because my main system's motherboard got toasted.
That is following on the heels of my Dell Latitude burn up which came on the back of my first Xylotex Controller flaming out.

I am three months behind on the learning curve, haven't read the manual yet but at least I am comfortable that I can draw, cut and most importantly have an almost bullet-proof cam to run a very fine micro mill.

Looks good I will try it in the morning.
I will definitely buy if it works for me.
I am looking and it falls in my price range, as I don’t make money from my machine now .It is a hobby but that may change when I get proficient.

Don't know but today I ran Mach3 + Corel 9 + AutoCad 2005 on a PC P4 1.5MHZ with 51K PC 133 Ram.
No problems.
