You need to look at LazyCAM this program now imports DXF files for you to generate g-code.

It looks as if you are loosing steps, slow the machine down by 50% on acceleration and velocity and try again.

The maximum feed rate is set in motor tuning for each axis when the machine is calibrated.

FAQs / Re: How to clear part programs in MDI screen

« on: January 03, 2012, 07:59:23 AM »

Hi,

you should be editing lines of g-code in notepad or wordpad and then loading them into mach3, if you then click on the edit-g-code button the code will be displayed in notepad.

MDI is only for entering single lines of g-code to be executed immediately after pressing the enter key.
