General Mach Discussion / Jogging strangeness

« on: January 27, 2011, 06:59:18 AM »

Hi, everyone. New Mach3 user and fairly new to CNC in general. I have a Romaxx WD-1 with a closed loop system. When first starting up Mach3, I can do continuous jogging and MPG jogging. If I try to do step jogging, all jogging becomes disabled, i.e., continuous and MPG won't work. However, if I then run a toolpath (any toolpath, even for 1 second), all jogging then works fine, including step jogging. I can live with this, just running a toolpath briefly whenever I first start up, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever encountered this behavior and knows of a fix. Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
