Re: Mach III and DeskCNC

Will,

Do you have "legacy" G code with G70/G71 for units selection? Mach
2/3, as do most newer controllers, uses G20/21. A simple search and
repelace with a text editor will change these... (I'd bet Art would
even hard code it for ya if you asked him...)

FYI, Mach2/3 is also able to digitise and tool preset. It will even
work with the IMsrvc probe/setter...

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
