Ok thanks so much for the fast replies!

Do you know how I could create a button script or just a hotkey to switch between Active high and active low on my probe input? I use a probe and also a tool setter. So I always have to go and change...

worked :)

Thank so much!

Hi guys.

I want to add a button in mach3 for my most used wizard so I can just click on it and open it. I downloaded screen4 and machscreen but I do not know what script to use or write. I tried...

Ok thanks Al, just wanted to be sure I wasn't doing it the hard way :)

For a DXF 2d drawing Is there a way to select a whole object and join gaps? Or do you just have to zoom in and find every little one and use "join line"

I just wanted to give my feedback to your new website and marketing. I received an email about the new blog and website so I took a look at it.

In my opinion it is a little deceptive as looking at...

Thank you so much for your help, tried 500 and that worked :) Also I set it back to zero just to to test and then removed my limit switch wires out of the loom of my steppers and it worked as well.

Ok, so try 500 in the debounce interval or the index debounce, or both?

I will rewire with shielded cable as well.

Thanks so much

I have an odd limit switch issue if anyone can help...

G0704, Automation Tech 3 axis 570 package, I installed limit switches in NC config and Everything works but after about a few seconds mach 3...

Got it, thanks so much for all your help. It was indeed tool deflection. As I had a deeper cut programmed in Bobcad than in the Machwizard.

I feel like a dork..lol Thanks again to all of you :)

Yep, same tool, same speeds, same direction and everything.

Thanks ,yea Im not sure whats going on. Maybe some arc setting somewhere or something?/ I don't know....., the G code like you said is correct just don't know why using the simple mach3 circle pocket...

I'm Am using V25, and Yes I know I have a 1mm side allowance, but it is cut with the finishing pass. So that's not the issue. If you look at the G-code you will see the finish pass operation that...

I do have a side allowance , but I also have a finish cut for that.

Here is the bbcad file zip and gcode.

Thanks so much for the help

Thanks for the suggestions.

I did cut the circle the same in bobcad and in mach3 circle wizard, (same direction climb), I am not a master with Bobcad but I know my way around fairly well to use...

Hi Guys, I have a question if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Example:

If I design a 30mm pocket in bobcad and go out on my mach 3 machine and cut it it will be about .15mm...

Thanks Hood that's what it was, so I changed the settings in Mach. And Bobcad guy I wanted to change it because the rapids were so fast it was sometimes triggering my closed loop motors ( they...

Hi Guys,

Where can you change rapid speeds in Bobcad? Or is this something done in Mach3? My rapids are faster with Bobcad than my previous cad cam and so I'm assuming it in the cad/cam?
...

Thanks this did work and is easy enough to do with the couple setting changes in simulation.

Ok,

Thanks so much guys for all the help, I appreciate it.

I updated the file to have 4 axis machine selected. (I did have a 4 axis machine selected before, but then I updated Bcad as I was 1 update behind and it reset my settings)

But it makes no...

Here is the simple file. Mainly to show how the rotation changes once in simulation. 4 axis machine is selected
thanks guys

That's sounds like my issues exactly

how do I post the file, I tried to upload my bobcad file but it wouldn't let me?

I went ahead and just posted a quick part and ran it on the mill and it posted and rancorrectly on the mill. so it is something with the simulation only, but would still like to figure out why its...

I tried to search for this and I couldn't find anything.

I have a 4th axis part with the rotation along x axis, when I run simulation it shows it correct( along the X axis) for a couple seconds...

Thanks, Yes I have made 4 different post's with different tool change z heights, but I just think it would be just more user friendly and easy to just add setting in the UI. So a user doesnt have to...

+1 Another vote for a simple tool change height setting maybe in the machine setup.

The only other thing would be make the simulation use less resources, gets a little choppy and slow if you dont...
