Mach3 Loads files when e-stopped but not when in normal mode
« on: August 22, 2008, 02:12:24 PM »
Hello,


I've been fussing with Mach3 the last couple days, the problem i'm having is that when I first load mach3 up and I load any gcode file it will load great even the samples that come with the program. If I press the e-stop to bring the system to normal mode and try to load a gcode file I will get only like 1/4 of the program. If I exit mach and return and try again it will load the files fine untill you press e-stop then it will start doing it again.

Any ideas?

I'm runing Windows XP
256MB graphics card
1gb ram

Also it's worth mentioning that I also deleted the XML and recreated it just to be sure. The other strange thing is that if I load the file while the machine is estopped and then I bring it online and start cutting it will stop cutting the job about the same place that it truncates the file if you load it while in normal mode.
