    Is there a Mach3 configuration file to save as back up.

    Hi,

    I just purchased a 5x10' Chinese CNC router with Mach 3 on an old PC as a controller. Is there a way to save all the current configuration settings in a single file in case the computer crashes? (or I want to change to another computer etc.) I don't want to be stuck setting it up from scratch. Any input appreciated.

    Thanks

    Just zip the entire Mach3 folder.
    The .xml file has all of the settings, but if you are using any custom macros, brains, or screens, you'll need those too.
