SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!

[1hand]

OK, I have Part master and Mach 3 on the same computer. I'm looking for someone to walk me through getting a run program from the Part master over and loaded up on the Mach 3. What Post Processor do I need? Where do I put it? Hoe do I use it.

I'm very, very new to this all, and need the basic steps.

Anyone up to the challenge?

Thanks.

The post I use is M_Mach3_inc.ppr. Unless there is something new, that's the current. I have several different post for many machines and they are all stored in the application data folder. Whenever your all setup and ready to post, there is a post process icon at the bottom of the cam screen. Looks like a little notepad with writing on it. Theres not much challenge to it. I've used quite a few different programs and by far dolphin has been the easiest. Obviously some are more powerful but also cost 10K more. But when it comes to being easy, I havent seen anything easier.

Watch some of the video's, that's what they are there for.

Then come back with unanswered questions.

John,

I watched the video's first. They don't get into posting a great deal.

I did figure it out though. I was posting pun. instead of tex.
Thats why I wasn't able to find the file when I tried to load it in Mach 3.

Mach..inc. poster wasn't working either. The arc's came out as circles, and squares looked like stars when loaded in Mach 3.
I then found that my Mach 3 Con fig, IJ mode was set Absolute instead of Inc.

Switch that all around, and now it works great.

Thanks Matt
