General Mach Discussion / Mach3 turn 3D display

« on: December 16, 2020, 08:56:22 PM »

Hello

I'm exploring Mach3 turn for trying to help an user that is starting with Mach3 ; unfortunately I only know the mill side.

In Mach3 turn doc, page 23, we see an "ISO" (perspective) 3D view of the taper as on "turn1" picture, but in the software the 3D view is in "side" view, as on "turn2" picture ; where is the setting that allow to swith to an ISO view ? ... I can't find it ... (Mach3 3.043.062)

Thanks for your help

General Mach Discussion / input signal hotkey & Win 64

« on: October 26, 2017, 04:53:38 PM »

Hello

I falls on almost the same problem that on this post.

http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,24815.msg175556.html#msg175556

I use my "home PC" (with no CNC connected) to work on scripts, and I use hotkeys to simulate the inputs (Probe, Homing, etc).

Until now, it worked perfectly on XP pro 32 bits, but I changed for a Win 7 - 64 bits, and now, I can no longer simulate the inputs with the keyboard keys.  I assume it's because no parallel port is installed ? (and can't be installed on a 64 bits system)

Does anyone know a workaround to get the hotkey working on a 64 bit system ? (It is only used to develop)

Mach3 3.043.062 - Win 7 - 64 Ultimate

thanks

General Mach Discussion / Clearance after homing (refcombination)

« on: July 19, 2014, 01:53:44 PM »

Hello,

Is there a way to set the distance that must do an axis in reverse direction after touching the homing switch.

I need that the axis goes backward on a bigger distance than it does after the homing.

thanks for replies

Machscreen Screen Designer / Unable to select font (VB editor)

« on: September 21, 2012, 05:54:55 PM »

Hello,

First, thanks Klaus for this nice soft !

I've a little problem:

When I edit VBscript from MachScreen, I get very small characters in the editor

I try to change it, but in the settings windows there is no fonts in the list and if I type manually a font size and/or a font name, it as no effect.

An idea of what I can do to solve this problem ?

(MachScreen 1.55 - Win XP pro SP3)
