    Time units in Mach

    I'm wondering where you can set the time units in Mach3. I find it odd that Lazycam, Sheetcam, and a few others generate code based on Seconds and yet Mach seems to want pauses in milliseconds. I've been able to get Sheetcam to put out the correct pauses in milliseconds, but would prefer to set Mach to accept seconds. Is there a way to change Mach's default units here?

    If you're taking about G4, check General Config. Upper right corner.

    Yes, I was talking about G4. You know, I've looked through that screen a dozen times for that setting and never saw it. I guess I was expecting it to be a box with options for the units. I guess unchecking the box makes it go to seconds? Thank you!
