Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] MX3 problem (Jon)

As for question 1 about changing parameters,
reprogram the hard drive, motherboard, or what ever else is in there to do
what I want. But that's a little out of my field.
As for the way the programs look here is a standard Bobcad program milling a
180 degree arc in YZ plane. this program will work on any mill by changing
the first couple lines for mill readability.

Now here is the same programing on the MX3.

There is a start XYZ and an end XYZ on every line.
Strange looking program isn't it.
The mill is capable of any 3D work.
It's just the way the PC in the machine reads and changes it that I would
like to change. Thanks Scott warden.
