I see we're still having quite a bit of connection problems, no?

Thanks,

Yes, the link is indeed dead at this time.

Maybe Jeff will fix it soon?

Phatjap,

Are you sure you're able to use the VCarve link in Mach 3 to open the file? You may want to rephrase your question over on the Vectric forum because you said :

I purchased Vcarve and Mach 3 Licences about 5 months ago and got them both working on an old XP machine nicely, recently ( a week ago) I reinstalled on a slightly newer machine, also with XP, however, Vcarve does not seen to post to Mach 3. I'm stuck as to how to resolve it.

The error I get is 'failed to find data on installed version of Mach' and then if I ok that, I get 'Failed to find instance of Mach'.

Can anyone advise what might be the trouble?

Kind regards.

That would lead Mark, the administrator, to think that you have VCarve, not Cut2d. Maybe it's not possible anymore due to some sort of upgrade and he(Mark) would have been able to answer your question more intelligently. That would be my next move as I'm a member there as well and they are "on the ball" all the time over there..... when they have the correct information.

Possibly you could get a free CNC Simulator to help look/manage the code?

I'm a bit confused. You mention VCarve on the Vectric site but you start out by mentioning Cut2D on this forum. Which are you actually using?

From what Mark said over there, it sounds like it would be the issue, but your answers say otherwise, so I honestly do not know but I'm sure someone will be along to help on either site as they're both top notch for answers.

Are you able to load a Gcode in Mach 3 manually without sending it directly from VCarve/Cut2D? In other words, have Mach running, and load a GCode from within Mach 3?

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Re: Area51 Screenset

« on: September 28, 2010, 01:40:57 PM »

  I am a first posting newbie!  Somewhere, perhaps on youtube, I saw a dynamite screenset,  it was posted by someone called Area51.   How can I download this excellent screenset?

Welcome,

Perhaps you can get a screenshot from the video and post it?

Have you looked at the screensets on the Mach 3 downloads page (look up!)?
