General Mach Discussion / screen size

« on: May 06, 2017, 01:33:03 PM »

I have a new cnc lathe and mach3 was loaded on it.  The mach3  screen was full size of the monitor screen which was great.  But I did something and now the mach 3 screen is about 2/3 the monitor screen size.  I don't know what I did, but whatever I can not get the mach3 to go to full screen size .  Anyone have an answer to get it back to full screen size??

General Mach Discussion / ATC with Mach3

« on: May 03, 2017, 01:15:32 PM »

I have a problem with automatic tool change.  If I change lets say to tool 2 the screen shows tool 2, but it has the wrong x,z values. But if I then go to tool number on the screen and hit tool 2 and enter it, it changes to the right x,z values.  So on running a program with tool changes, the tool change occurs and it shows the correct number on the screen, but it is not the correct x,z values,  Mach 3 does not seem to recognize the tool change unless I manually reenter the tool number, which makes it impossible to run a program with tool changes.

Any help out there??

General Mach Discussion / PCMCIA Parallel Port card

« on: April 18, 2007, 11:59:05 AM »

I have a Dell 8600 laptop and want to use it running Mach3.  It doesn't have a parallel port, but I found a site that has a Quatech PCMCIA card that they claim will give a true parallel prot.  Does any one know if this will work running a controller??
Thanks
