    Adding Additional Plugins to Mach3

    Has anyone tried to add additional plugins to the Mach3 setup used on the Tormach Mill? I tried adding a couple and had problems.

    Some plugins may require a newer version of Mach3 than your using. What kind of problems are you having?

    The biggest thing is loading the program/plugin. From what I read you should be able to click on the file and it will load. The file is has a .M3P (??) extension and when I click on it windows keep asking for a program to open it with. I believe it creates a .DLL so I down loaded the free copy of Mach3 from there wesite and copy/paste the plug in to the PCNC directory. I know this is not right so I was looking for the correct method.
    Thanks

    You should be able to just double click on it and it should install itself. Try saving it to your desktop and double clicking on it from there. If that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling mach3, but you may need a newer version.
