    Mach3 blue screen

    This is the path that I took in Mach3 view, Load screens, addons, circle center, circle center set the back to mach3. Now all I have is a blue screen. What did I do wrong and how do I get the main screen back?

    Tony,

    You went wrong by selecting a screen out of the main Mach3 folder, just go back to the main Mach3 folder

    Lathe screen files end in *.lset, mill is *.set

    So if you are using lathe you have to change the files of type to suit your machine

    If you want to use a third party screenset it may have to have the bitmap files added to the folder BITMAPS there are two folders there one for lathe and one for mill

    View>Load Screens and choose 1024.set in the main Mach3 folder.

    You tried to load a wizard screen. You need to just run the wizard from Mach3.

    Thanks for the help. The 1024 did the trick.
