help cant load gcode
« on: August 13, 2011, 05:16:08 PM »
hi to all out there,  I need help with moving files from my desktop to the shop computer. I am using Vcarve Pro 6 to design the project then I save onto a dongle (love that word), take it to the shop and try to load it into Mach 3. Vcarve saves it as a txt. file but mach doen't see it I just get a blank dongle as if there was nothing on it. My question is, am I using the wrong format or is it a Mach problem? I normally work with wood so this computer stuff, for me at least, has a steep learning curve, any help would be appreciated.

There is a drop down on the Mach3 open file window, click it and select .TXT
