Thank you!

The tool path display during execution is also not correct (not coincident with the preview one). Please see picture attached. It might help.

I am testing also here and I reached a small conclusion:

The error does not happen if:
If the toolpath window is more longer than taller (in my case it is the way around)
If the mach3 window is not fully maximized
If I load the gcode file with the standard turn screen set, then without closing the gcode file, load my screen set

I can only reproduce the error on monitors that are 1440x900, that was the resolution for witch the screen was made

The screen set was not changed (nor the .xml), only the mach3 version.

Reading my post, I feel quite unlucky as it seams there are more things that prevents the error than those that are probably causing it !

It was attached on the post before yours. Maybe you missed it?

Seems someone else has seen this toolpath issue but rather than it not show it seems its zoomed way out in the distance.
I do see the toolpath and the green lines when running, I have  no idea why its ok for me with a custom screen and not you, as said if you attached your screenset then maybe the difference could be seen and the issue resolved but looks like you are not wanting to so no probs from me.

This is quite odd, I was preparing the screen to send, and I passed it to a pen into the computer that is connected to the internet (from witch I am writing).
Just in case, to check if the screen can be loaded, I tested in this computer, and myself cannot reproduce the error (in this computer). The only thing I can think of is the resolution of the machine computer monitor, although does not make to much sense.

Here it is if anyone want to try. I have removed the images of the buttons and so on.

Thank you

Hello.
Apparently also the tool position during machining is also missing.
Can you reproduce that?
I also tested with the standard screen and it does not show the "current" tool path during machining. Can it be some configuration that is now needed?
Thank you

Yes custom screen.
The standard screen works ok. But the previous version worked ok for my screen also and settings are all the same, so it is not a problem on the lset.

More info on this, as it can help to be solved.
The tool path is there, but no visible at first time. I need to pan several times (4 times) to my right. This is, the tool path is on the left side of the window so far away that it is hidden. Un zooming at start also does not help.

My parts begin at Z0 and end up normally at Z-60, so it should not be because the dimension of the parts/tool path. My tool path display is more tall than long, different than the standard one that is more long than tall. This is the only difference that I find comparing the two screens.

Thank you the reply.
Something happens with the new release because I cannot get the tool path working as it should. My screen is custom, and the tool path display is large: 610x711 (maybe this is the issue?).

Please note what I did:
I have installed the standard turn screen, load a file and the tool path works in it.
Without closing mach, I choose my screen set (using load screen), and the tool path also works.
Close Mach
Open Mach with my default screen: No tool path...

Nothing of this happens on the previous release.

Hello.

Installing Mach3 R3.043.057 does not show anything on the preview window (tool path window). the 056 version works fine.
If any extra debug information is needed, please ask.
Currently I changed back to 056 so that I can continue working, but can install again the 57 if necessary.
Thank you.

In my case it worked out.
I cannot suggest anything else, else than contact Artur from CNC4PC asking for replace chips.
