Mach3 Turn showing Mill options in Engine Config/Ports &Pins
« on: April 04, 2021, 01:07:54 PM »
Evening all.
I'm fairly new to Mach3 and specifically the turn version.  I have come across a little problem.

I added a few buttons onto the standard lathe screenset (1024.lset).
If I now point my mouse to the Engine configuration / ports & pins; 'MILL OPTIONS' is there instead of 'TURN OPTIONS'.

How this manifested itself was that (all of a sudden), I realised the X axis was cutting on the radius and not the diameter as I had set.  Despite showing 'diameter mode' on the screen.

If you look at the two screen grabs, you'll see the difference.
Any help would be wonderful.

Kind regards
Jack

what screeneditor did you use to make the changes?
and the modified file set is still ...lset ?
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

Hello,
Many thanks for the quick reply.  I used 'screen4'.  Yes, it is still 1024.lset.  Everything works perfectly, except the tab shows mill options.
Cheers.
