Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach 3 G-code

« on: January 26, 2021, 12:52:07 PM »

Thank you very much.  That was the problem.  As soon as I changed it to all, all the files were there and loaded into mach 3.

Thank you for all your help.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach 3 G-code

« on: January 25, 2021, 05:37:32 PM »

Thanks for the reply,

I have Mach 3 running and zeroed my cnc.  Next I click load G code.  The file that I want to load is on my desk top, but when I look at my desk top files in Mach 3, the file is not there. Also, the G-code on the cd that came with the cnc does not show up either.  If I look to see what is on the disc outside of Mach 3, the files are there also.  They do not show up when I try to open them in Mach 3.  I hope this explanation is clear.

Hello everybody.  I have Mach 3 installed on my laptop running windows 7.  I am using a sainsmart 3018 MX3  When I try to load a G-code into Mach 3, it can not find a G-code file or recognize one.  Does anyone have any suggestions to what I am doing wrong?.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply.

I have got it working now.  I just needed to update a file and it is working now.  To know it was connected, it said it was in the line next to the reset. Read usb connected.  It is working now.
