General Mach Discussion / mach 3 set-up has me stumped

« on: August 01, 2010, 11:00:15 AM »

Hi folks, I could sure use some help w/mach3 set-up. Im using Win 7 32 bit to control my new Taig 3000dsls. I had to install a pci card for the printer port at lpt3 and change the address in port 1. I use Rhinocam 2 Pro for cad and the Mach 3 mm post that came already in the program & Mach 3 ver. r3.042.040. When I run the sample G codes everything works fine but when I bring in an .nc from Rhinocam the mill wants to cut in inches, not mm's no matter how the units or the G code are set. Editing g-code changes the numbers but not the units. Will a different post or .xml be the solution ? Thanks for any help you can give .JimiG
