New guy in town.
My name is Terry Whalen. We use Mach3 for the software to control our CNC router which we use to manufacture signs in Las Vegas. I am logging on to start my membership and I have a couple of problems I want to ask about. I don't know if this is the right place, but here goes.
1. I have version 1 of Mach 3 and think i need to upgrade to the latest version 3. Can I do an upgrade without losing all my setup parameters, like pin assignments, tuning, size ca labration and etc?
2. We are having a problem where the control will stop randomly in the g-code program. Does not seem to be in the same spot in any given job, and the code looks perfectly normal. Has anyone seen this and do you have any idea what I should look for?
3. Very frequently when we load a G-code file the graphic display in Mach 3 where you see the picture of what you are cutting is not correct. It may show the file in the wrong location or may only show a portion of the file. Also, I have noticed that when I have the stopping problem above, the display which shows each line of g-code, will show the same line of code multiple times. I get the felling that this display problem is related to the stopping problem above item 2, but not sure. Once again has anyone seen this and do you have any advice.
Thanks,
Terry
