hi i just bought a novakon nm145 and i am new to cnc , although the wizards in the mach 3 program and my machinist knowledge got me fixed up for a keyway job. I tried using the newfangled solutions to mill of side of block and it would not dowload g code do i have to do anything different to use them or do i need other software. my novakon nm145 came with its own hard drive and mach3 was dowloaded in program

The NFS wizards require a license to activate. I can't remember how I purchased my license it's been so long.
I think if you look in the PURCHASE pulldown at the top of this page it's listed as "add-ons for mill" for $50 but better let someone more familiar chime in here to be sure - Ron?

Yes, the Newfangled wizards are an extra cost, $50 option. You will be sent a license key that lets them save code. Without the license they work, you just cant save the code.
