Just trying Mach3 for first time in demo, i generated some g-code for a PCB that i designed in Eagle..the G-code ran fine found that the board image is small and tried to zoom the image on the image screen but it starts to disappear off the top of the window ..how can i zoom without it rotating as a 3D image so i can see the operation as i run

Zoom with the mouse wheel. Pan by holding the right mouse button and dragging.

Thanks for that never thought of Right mouse has usually its a left mouse to move.

One further point I am having difficulty finding on You Tube or any other forums, I want to use a Web Cam on occasions instead of a generated G - Code using Eagle, I want to be able to use a Webcam mounted in the Spindle motor position to manually program hole positions for a Printed circuit board using a Negative / Positive photo of the board placed on the CNC table with pre-designated tooling maks i.e a cross hair on the photo to mark as start position of the piece I want to drill or rout, I know I can get a cross hair for Mach3 and use the Jog to move the XY position manually BUT I cannot find any help with the actual creation of the co-ordinates that i want to program, can anyone help in this operation.

Maybe the CopyCat wizard? https://www.machsupport.com/forum/in...?topic=10536.0

Thanks for info, I downloaded the Zip file and doesnt look like an EXE file so was wondering how I use, also found under Wizards in Mach3 what looks like the same Copycat wizard but when I tried to run it displayed I had no license for Copycat wizard but no link to get license.

Looks like it might work for me.

Also downloaded a copy of Artcam so will try that as well.
