I knew I could count on you to reply. I will copy them this morning and get them out to you.

I figured out my BobCad problem, there was a debug that was off. How it got that way....who knows.

Need help.  I have been using my Mach 3 cutting plasma and doing fine.

My problem is I just switched to the router and my mill screen is not moving the gantry.

I looked at the config screen, ports and pins and set up the mill screen the same as the plasma and still no go.

Any suggestions?

That makes me feel better, Thanks.

Are you ready for my next issue. I have 2 seats of the BobCad program. Computer #1 I have had no issues with setting a g-code. Please review the g-code I get from computer #2.

Both computers started with the design name. Now #2 starts with **** and places them all through the post.  I have not tried to run this yet.

Normally I use computer #2 for design and code work.

Any thoughts?

I do have 1 problem additional........Yesterday I was running a design that was done on computer #2.  I set the g-code on #1.  The design consists of 2 animals and a tree on a fire pit. I have 4 separate sides. 3 of the 4 ran perfect. The 4th ran everything except 1 of the animals.  I separated the animal and also re-posted as it was.  The posting went fine until I I clicked on compute tool path.  The tool path showed only the pierce.  To get the thing done I had to go to computer #2, do the design up to the compute tool path, save to a thumb drive, go to computer #1 and post.  Then it worked.

I have never had this happen before and it is only on this one animal.

Ring any bells with you?

It is a loader. I checked the target and what I sent was complete.  I went to the Mach 3 program and sent a shortcut to the desktop.  It also showed a loader with the same target.

I also looked at the program itself and it had a target that was different....It was c: then a lot of microsoft\program\......with \mach3.exe at the end.

Sorry I do not know how to get you what you want.  What's next?

Hood:  I did not know exactly what xml file you wanted so I copied them all for you.  You will see the tests I was doing.

The files are Moose ### ###.  The first ###s are the feed and the second is the THC ###s

When I start Mach 3 the screen opens with the FRO at 6, when I start a design it does not change to the ##s entered in the feed. Should it?  It does change if I change the feed +/-.  It does not change to where I have it set yet the speed does change.

Is this nothing to worry about or should this be making the entry change?

Thanks for your help.
