Teach wizard - its gone
« on: June 27, 2009, 07:41:26 AM »
I have just downloaded the latest version of Mach3 and the two tech wizard are no longer included.
Does anybody know of any thirdparty software or any other solution for "teach"

Hi

You have not said what version you actually downloaded

Mach3 R3.042.020, which is the latest lockdown version, fully tested and supported, does contain Teach and Teach Rev 1.4 under the milling wizards, I just checked my copy.

The 'bleeding edge' development version probably has lots of bits missing.

regards

Melee

You may want to check, the latest version of CopyCat V1.1 may not be included with latest versions of Mach.

Thanks for that but I cant find the download area on your website for CopyCat V1.1.
Also i have purchased licenses to both mach3 & LazyCam but the wizards still need a license. Is there something wrong with my setup or do i have to purchase another license?

You will need a another license from  New Fangled Solutions to post code from CopyCat.
Here is the link to the latest version. A manual for the program can be found in the Members Docs.

Here is the info from PURCHASE pulldown above:
Mach3 Addons for Mill:
Mach3 Addons for Mill is a solution for using Mach3's wizard capability to simplify the creation of G-Code files.  This package will minimize the time it takes to go from "start to part".  A demonstration version of the Addons is included in the default Mach3 installation.  This version allows you to run through the actual wizards, chaining operations and generating toolpaths.  It will not, however, generate a Gcode file.  The Addons require a licensed copy of Mach3 in order to function properly.

Additionaly there is another program called Jog to Gcode in the Downloads, never used it, but may be worth a try.
