How to install a wizard?
« on: July 17, 2013, 03:00:35 PM »
This week's Mach turn bucket list is down to one thing.  Got threading going fairly well and parting-off working great thanks to Hood's tutelage about G94/G95.  #3 on the list is peck drilling.

I ran across this post http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16533.0.html and the wizard contained therein looks like it will work for me.  I downloaded & unzipped the files but danged if I know how to install them.  Anyone have any advice on how to make it work?

Thanks!  Must've done something wrong though, I get "error ->.set file missing"

Did you possibly forget to unzip it first?

I've been known to be in hurry at times but I've never forgotten to unzip first.:D

The files don't have a .zip extension on them so I think they were successfully extracted.  I'm going to wait 'til I get home from work & try it again on the PC that's actually connected to the lathe.  I have the same version of mach installed here at work with the .xml from the shop PC so it should work but who knows, something may be corrupted.

 :D

When I downloaded the add on, it was definitely a zip file so please check that as it may be the issue.

Thanks Dave, the downloaded files were definitely zipped & I had extracted them OK.  The problem was there were too many folders.  Once I figured out which folder was needed, I deleted what wasn't needed & dragged the correct one over to AddOns.  Then it worked fine.

Thanks again!

Not sure what you mean about too many folders. Yesterday when you had this issue, I downloaded it myself, extracted it, and put it in the add-ons folder, and it worked perfectly.

Wonder what you're getting with too many folders?

Probably something I was doing wrong but if I remember right it created a folder named Drill Wizard 1.3 with a subfolder Turn Add Ons and inside that was the folder I needed Drilling(Lathe)  The first couple of tries I drug the whole Drill Wizard 1.3 folder into the TurnAddons folder in Mach & I got the error.

No biggie, it's working now, thanks! ;D
