    Programming Mach3 by just jogging the axes manually

    Hi

    I am in the process of building a CNC adapted for liquid handling (tranferring of liquids of specific volumes to test tubes) as shown by the picture below.

    My question is: can I program Mach3 by just jogging the axes myself manually (in other words programming without importing CAD files)?

    This method is more convenient for liquid handling.

    Thank you very much.
