Can't look right now, but is that you're current location?

Just turn off table display.
I didn't read the whole thread, but this should make the display issue better?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Starting off with MACH4 and Macros

Windows XP is 15 years old. Don't expect a modern program like Mach4 to run well on it. Mach4 ideally needs a much faster PC than Mach3.

I've never used EMC (now LinuxCNC), and afaik, Mach4 still has no CV control at all. Although I believe that some CV control was being tested.

The CV Tolerance setting in Mach3 is not a part size tolerance.
You're best bet may be to turn off all CV settings, except "Stop CV on Angles <", and set that to whatever works best for you.
Mach3's trajectory in CV mode is influenced by a lot of factors. IN addition to the CV options, lookahead and acceleration also have an effect on the trajectory.

High speeds tend to show  Mach3's limitations in it's trajectory planner. High acceleration is the best way to avoid these issues.

This might help explain some of the details:

Just a guess, but your motion controller may not support G04.

Mach Screens / Re: PBJ 2013 Screenset

I don't know anything about this screenset,but you really shouldn't be using 3.043.066, as it's very buggy and causes issues for a lot of people.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: Auto-z macro to use input1 instead of probe input

« on: August 26, 2016, 05:37:56 AM »

yes l understand that G31 is a probe input. How do I change it so that it does not use a G31 or a probe and uses input1 instead?

You can't.

I want to use input 1 instead of probe

G31 only works with the probe input.
The only thing you can do is create a Brain that triggers the Probe input when Input #1 is triggered.
