I upgraded from v26 to v27 when it first came out and have had glitches that bobcad hasn't been able to address. Since I can't get bobcad to give me a refund for v27(read your no money back guarantee...

Litleboy how did you make out with this? I have a ligntning 5x5 table. It's a year and a half old and no issues right now. I figure since they went out of business we owners need all the resources...

Jer21 is right and made me remember that I was actually having trouble with the "Big Tex" version of mach blue. Big Tex is the one that's supposed to have all the cool auto centering script. But...

Marting,
I had read good things about mach blue auto z and tried going down the road you're on. If and when you get discouraged with it, please take the advice of Jalissi below and download the code...

Thanks. I can run it straight from the pump. Great.
Do you think common automotive vacuum hose would work? That stuff is flexible, cheap and easy to get from places like NAPA, or Pep Boys.

I'm thinking about adding some vacuum clamps to my CNC. I have a couple of questions for you folks that have already done this. Do you run the vacuum hose directly off the pump or do you use some...

Hi Beansdiesel,
Quick question. Are you using just the profile selection after you click on pocket or are you using the Bobcad default of pocket rough and profile finish together? The reason I...

Bhurts, thanks for the tip. I actually saw and ordered those exact bits a couple weeks ago on eBay. They arrived but I have not had a chance to use one yet. Wife has kept me busy engraving Cheese...

Hi Matthew,
I have a Bosch 1617 variable speed router on mine. It's almost identical to your porter. When I first experimented with the soapy water I found a few of little tricks that work well for...

Awhile back I was having the melting and clogging issue cutting acrylic. I read on a post that many folks put some water and dish soap in a spray bottle and spray it on the material while cutting. I...

I since it's 9:30 AM here in San Diego and bobcad online support is apparently away and out to lunch again, I reported it as a bug and also as a request for tech support help. I'll let you know if I...

This exact issue has been happening to me too. With all the other problems I've had with v27 I didn't pay any attention to this one until last night when it happened repeatedly with two bccd files I...

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the tip. It worked. I don't have a clue what it did, but It worked and I'm back up and running.

Thanks again,

Scott

Last week in Mach 3, I loaded and ran a g-code file cutting a circle in some acrylic. Now no matter what g-code file I load in Mach 3, that circle shows up in my display window. How do I get rid of...

Thanks for the offer jrmach. Like I said, I've already worked with bobcad and then submitted my refund request. So I'm done with v27 until a midlife update as someone else called it. As far as...

I upgraded from v26 to v27 last month. Since then I've had nothing but problems. V27 freezes and crashes a lot. A lot! I've also had two instances where I've been able to show the bobcad techs...

Jalessi,

This is exactly what I was looking for. I read your reply at 00:30 AM and then couldn't possible go to sleep before I tried it. It took a couple of minutes to figure the screen out,...

I have my auto Z plate wired up and working properly in regular Mach 3. It's very cool. Now I want the big enchilada. I want the auto centering for A and Y. I have created the copper tube and acrylic...

Thank You so very much for this excellent information. I have been trying to piece this together and you've created a masterpiece.
