Mach3 under Vista / Re: Your opinion of Vista ?

« on: April 24, 2007, 03:55:04 AM »

I bought a new laptop for one of the guys at work, it had vista home premium on it for 10 days, it now has XP home on it, nothing would run on it, every time we tried to install something it told us it was not the correct version and would not run correctly,  the 'do you know what you are doing screens got on his wick, it would have cost us hundreds in updates if we could have got them.

The laptop is now running at twice the speed (if not more) and all our existing software runs. Vista is a joke at the moment, and will be for a long time to come. Never again.

By the way, Dell has gone back to XP on its computers as sales dropped so rapidly.

You could set up an M code macro with a G10 in it that sets your offsets for you, that way they will never get lost and also you can enter the M code in all the programs that use that fixture offset.

E.g.

G10 L2 P2 Xnnn.nnn Ynnn.nnn Znnn.nnn

The Mach3 licence covers the basic LazyCAM, if you want the pro version of LazyCAM its $50.00 more

It loads fine into my CAD system, no problems found in the file, but I can't get LCAM to load it correctly ether, I think this is one for Brian.

I have sent it to him for his comments.
