I got the newest version of Bobcad, but as of yet there is no post available for Mach 3. Bobcad will release post processors on a first come/priority basis...the more requests and sooner they get them, will move things up the priority list. Getting or thinking of getting the latest Bobcad? Then print off a Post Processor Request form from Bobcad's website and fax it in ASAP. As for the new Bobcad...can't tell much about it until I cut something. It acts more intelligent so far.
Unrelated but maybe some worthwhile info. I posted a bit of a lament 'everything has gone haywire', last fall, when I suffered a series of drive failures with my Gecko g320's. My router has been up and running for most the winter with no problems. The source of grief? Poor grounding and dirty rural power. I replaced all my encoder cables with shielded cables and made sure they can bleed off properly. Made sure things are grounded properly back to the source. I added surge protection right in the breaker box.
When time allows a new breaker panel goes in the shop, and some new isolated ground recepticles and wire, etc. Maybe bury another ground rod out by my shop...maybe not.
Dirty job figuriing this one out. Stumbled on the solution when I read about a plant in Ohio with CNC machinery failing constantly. Poor grounding in the plant. A fried modem in my house and blown lightbulbs clued me into the dirty power aspect.
Hope this spares somebody grief down the road.
