No matter how powerful your PC and video card is, you WILL have trouble with large files. Usually anything with more than a few hundred thousand lines of code.

Just the way thatMach3 was written. The toolpath display is very inefficient.
Turning off the toolpath display should alleviate any large file issues.

The graphics card requirements are left overs from day's long ago, with much lesser capable machines.
I have run files with over 200k lines without issue.

Oh okay thanks for that I will see if I can build a computer or find an older cheaper one just to dedicate to mach 3
What Gerry said. Turn off path display.
Cheers

Roger - Just to clear things up. We don't use 2-phase power in America. Most residential electrical connections are single phase with capability of 110v or 220v. It's rare but occasionally I'll come across a residence with 3-phase, but generally in my area (greater Philadelphia) you can't get a 3-phase residential hook up from the power company, which is why woodworkers that want to utilize 3-phase machines usually have to purchase a converter of some sort. Commercial and industrial building usually have 3-phase connections. Which brings me back to 2-phase - 2 phase was more common at one point but was mostly abandoned in America a century or so ago. There are some throw-backs - the Philadelphia Electric Company still provides 2-phase service to many commercial customers in center city, but of course won't install new connections. This is very rare occurrence however, and possibly the only city in the US.
Hi Mussersail
Interesting - thanks.
Here in Oz we always have 3-phase 240 V running down the street - at least in suburbia. If you ask for it you get it, although the authorities might ask for a reason (mainly for the paperwork). I asked for and got 3-phase 60 A per phase. They DID ask why the current rating: I replied farm machinery. As I was paying for the lead-ins from street to house, they were not fussed.
Further out in the country - yeah, well, that depends. The run to a remote farm can be kinda long out here, so sometimes you can only get a single phase, or maybe 2 phases to distribute the load. But they are always referenced to the Neutral. If you really need 3-phase, they might want a contribution to the cost of running the extra wires.
Our grid is very uniform across the country, which is nice.

Is this thing the only problem mach3 has? No more problem, then we can avoid easily. Don't have too big file.No matter how powerful your PC and video card is, you WILL have trouble with large files. Usually anything with more than a few hundred thousand lines of code.
