"run from here" problem
« on: February 08, 2015, 06:41:56 PM »
Hi All, I do not run my cnc router allot, and Mach3 is goooood, therefore i am not seen in this forum allot.


But now I have a problem: in the "program run screen" (the first screen) When i set a line number in the space above "run from here", it works perfectly as long as the line number is below around 920.000. If i press 1.320.000 for instance, then the machine always want to start at line 920.000 whatever i do. also, i get a red flashing reset button. (It is not exactly 920.000, but somewhere close to that)
I am running Version R3.043.067 on an old windows XP.

Can I do something to get it working. This is a particularly boring situation when a thin tool brakes in a 1400.000 line program.

At the moment I solve this by deleting 80.000 line in the program editor.

Thank you,
Willy

I assume you are using V0.066 as there isn't a V0.067.  Try using V0.62... V0.066 has problems.

Just checked the Mach 3 website FTP server and didn't see it? Maybe you can share where it is located.

Yep .067 has been removed from the Mach FTP server website. That should tell you something... try using 0.062

Ok I 'll use .062.
It has been so long ago that i installed Mach3 that i forgot alot of the details. My memory is allso not up to top enymore, I am 71, but I remember something of the configuration file and the key file, but am not sure abaout that.
so: If I uninstall this 067, what files do I have to safe before i uninstall? I do not want to purchase a new key and I do not want to set all the parameters again, and what else?


Thanks for all the reply's,

Willy
