General Mach Discussion / Upgrade to Mach3 R2.56

« on: October 27, 2007, 12:04:21 PM »

Hello 
I was retrofit milling 2 year ago that I run with Mach2 without problem, very stable...
My machine was old cincimatic, controlled with Elotouch screen and keyboard, AMD64 3700, Asus A8VN board, Windows xp

I will like to upgrade to Mach 3, I was install Mach3 R2.56 yesterday, and I was some bug that I can't fix...

1- the post I was use on all my old programme use * for insert comment, it work very good on mach2 but in mach3, I need to use () ... can I set up Mach3 to accept *  ??

2- when I shut down Windows, if I don't close mach3 before, windows was not able to turn off mach3...

3- On my machine, I use X Y Z axis with stepper motor, and I had 4th axes, it was quill spindle without motor, with acu-rite ttl lineair scale,  that I use to manually drill or make some opération that i want work manually...  I use encoder 3 in mach for input in lpt1 , I was read out on my screen , with zero boutton...  On mach2 it's very good but on mach3, when I reset Zaxis, it add z measure to my Spindle read out before resetting... like I click the boutton "DRO to encoder"

can you help me please
