I don't know if anyone else is having problems, but I’m not really sure that Mach3 is worth the effort. I have it loaded on two different machines and both act the same way. The install is straight forward. I don't know what I could mess up. I don't really think I’m that stupid. I can jog my motors. I have been able the cut the roadrunner in the g-code files. I just don't think I have ever used a piece of software that was so user unfriendly.

It won't import .dfx files. I've tried simple letters, designs from Corel and even downloaded files with no luck. I have saved the graphics as .dfx and jpeg’s I have tried the text and curves and under several formats 2004, 2003, r13 and r14. Nothing imports. I have had limited luck importing .dfx files downloaded from the forums.

Is there a .dfx to Mach3 guide that is not the 167 page support pdf? I guess I mean something that works.

Also the write wizard does not function either. I add the text select the font select inches, select cw or ccw. if I type in any dimensions or speeds or what ever on the top screen it zero's itself. I click the write button and it asks again all of the info I tried to input earlier. I answer it a second time and then it loads the G-code which wrong. It never cuts. The X, Y and Z coordinates all seem to be ZERO.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also if anyone is in the Milwaukee area and would like to earn a little cash for a little time to help step me through a few things. Let me know!
