I've been easing into my PRO4848, and getting better all the time. One thing that irks me, that must be possible, but I can't find it.... is there a way in Mach3 to have it outline the actual path bounding box? I'm used to this being possible with a laser engraver.

Right now I have to manually run it along the path boundaries and at each extremity check whether it's positioned correctly in my material. I'd like to have it just run a box letting me know exactly where it'll be cutting.

The limits page lists the coordinates of a bounding box, but there's no way to display one.

The toolpaths page will have a listing of the coordinates range in each axis that the program uses as well.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - what I want is for the actual spindle to trace the path in the air of the bounding box... I saw someone in an old website post said there was a way but didn't detail anything.

You could create an M-Code macro and add it to the beginning of your g-code. But there's no built in functionality to do that.
