LAST UPDATE---Figured out the "looping" problem and I can now scale any axis by simply entering the value in to the DRO's and they will scale just like you could do in mach 3. When  I select regen tool path it will resize the picture on the tool path table as well as update the extents.


What would it take for me to have MACH4 Feel like MACH 3 Relative to changing the Axis scale percentage in a box next to the axis DRO

Hi,

Probably not that much....but why? Mach4 is light years ahead of Mach3......I don't want to go back to Mach3,
I'm all for making Mach4 the way I want and to hell with Mach3.

Craig,
Thanks for the response.
 I understand what you’re saying about MACH4 being so much better Then MACH 3

In my shop, I frequently use the X and Y axis percent scale feature within MACH 3 quite often.

I have MACH 3 on three different machines and will be converting 2 of them to MACH4 and would really like to have the same feature for scale on all three machines. 

So I’m really interested in what it would take to make my MACH4 machines do the Axis  scaling like MACH 3.

Thanks,
Chuck

Adding the dro for percentage scaling can be done like they had in Mach3. I used it quite a bit on stuff like 2d carvings and text. It has been quite a while since I added it to my mach4 and I only really run my mill in the winter time unless I have to make something or fix something in the summer. Every winter if I want to add or change something I come across I usually have to do two days of research to remember how to make the modifications and programming.

Thank you for the reply.

I totally understand having to reacquaint yourself with Modifications you’ve done after A period of time.

Would it be possible for you to send your MACH 4 profile?

Since you have it working on your machine, maybe I could modify your profile to fit my machine?


Thank you,
Chuck

Chuck--I should be able to help you out with that. When I get some time I will fire it up and see what I have and send it to you.

Up and running, MACH4 now has the same scaling capabilities as MACH 3

So from my Interest, the subject is closed. 

Thank you,
Chuck

Hi  Craig,
It’s been a while since you sent this to me.

Would it be possible for you to resend your mach4 profile for scaling.

Long story, but I lost it.

pls Send to my email address Chuck767@gmail.com

Thanks,
Chuck
