The folder name must always be \Bitmaps\ for all screens and wizards.

Are you setting the path to the wizard in Machscreen in the Settings window?

Ger, I really wonder how many people ACTUALLY use the RefAll on a daily basis?

I think that a lot of router users do.

Most people I have talked with when they find something acting strange they just don't use it any more

Maybe some features, but homing is pretty important. If you go through the trouble of installing all the switches, I'd think that you would figure out how to make it work if it didn't. And you see at least a few posts every once in a while if it didn't work, and I don't see any.

Mine homes Z first, then Y and the slaved X and A together, and it works every time with no While IsMoving.

Gerry, thanks for the input. What exactly is the difference here?

RefCombination is for homing multiple axis' together, Since your homing one axis, I'd just use the button for that.

Terry is correct, that DoOEMButton(1024) is the newer version of DoButton(24).

While some say that you should use While IsMoving just about anytime you do anything, the stock Ref All doesn't use it, and I've never seen anyone say the stock RefAll doesn't work without it.

The proper way is probably:

DoButton(24)
Refcombination(3)

And you need to change every button, as each is unique.

RefCombination(7) is all you need.

I'm with Hood, every time I've ever exceeded 500 lines in demo mode it just stops. And I've replied to numerous posts from users, asking why Mach3 stops after 500 lines of code, not realizing it was a demo limitation.

You can do a lot with the demo version. There are other features that don't work, like Run from Here and threading in Turn.

But nothing to prevent you from running the machine and making parts. My machine paid for the license making parts with the demo version.

After running the wizard, just go to the offset screen and change offsets, then run again. You could also use MDI to change offsets.

Be sure to make a backup copy first.
