Finished Plugins for Download / Re: Excellon to GCode converter plugin with Camera view ( good for PCB drilling )

You don't need F** in every G1Zxx move. It is quite enough to place at the beginning of the file:
G1 F100 (or similar speed)
Also, you should allow 5 (five) digits for spindle speed, Chinese spindles regularly spins at 24krpm and some models up to 60krpm.
Next, you should list, besides .drl files the .txt files. Protel generates drill files with .txt extension.
Remove unnecessary zeroes from X and Y coordinates.

Try the attached file. It "understands" Protel format as well as the Altium Designer format. KiCad formats to be added soon.

Search for "Charge Pump Safety" and you will find a schematic drawn by Mariss Freimanis, aka GeckoMan . It will relieve your headache for measuring the freq with any microcontroller. Pure "1" or "0"

Next time, if you keep tyour ChewingGum attitude, do  not expect any relevant answer.

Have you read the Mach3 manual?
I would start from there

Do a search of the forum for "auto tool zero". There are lot of examples.

BTW look in the Blue Screen by BigTex screenset: http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/screensets/

I don't think that LazyCam is capable of opening 3D drawings.

It looks that your postprocessor is spitting zilion lines for simulating arcs.
Change your post to "Mach2/3 Arcs (inch)"

Second, Switch off Exact Stop mode.
