Hi, I installed the mach3 screenset but when I click on my mach3 profile to use it, the same old mach3 screen pops up and not the mach3 2010 version, please advise, thanks.

Finally was able to get it working.....here was the problem


That should not have been green. I originally followed the tutorial on soft limit setup on instructables.com and the guy there had it green. After watching the above youtube video I posted earlier again, I noticed he had it red. Thanks for everybody's help on this silly little issue.

Soft Limits


Circle G Code



I found this particular vectric sample gcode on a forum, I haven't actually made any gcode myself in vectric although I plan to learn this weekend.

Still not having any luck, this is the process I've been using after watching this youtube video  https://youtu.be/08qK4NfnXqA?t=266

Jog to center of table


Zero out


Regen Toolpath


I'm getting a soft limits warning on the z axis, but I have my soft limits set to -5 inches which should be enough for a simple circle file I'm trying to cut which says only .75" on the z if I'm reading it right. (I would upload the circle file I'm trying to cut but don't know how)

I just setup a machine and set my soft limits which work fine. I jog my machine over towards the middle of the table and load a simple gcode of a 2" circle just to see if it runs and I keep getting soft limits warning error. Please advise, thanks.
