    SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!

    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
