Of course it's not a good place, as I said the Mach devs are pretty clueless about how to organise things under Windows.
Programs like Mach4 are the answer to "Why is Windows security so shit?".

i have never had to find the location of mru file list because most
apps i have used offer the option of deleting an entry if it is not
found. it is in machine.ini which does not seem like a good place.

Re: [MachCNC] saved files
I meant some programs let you clear
the list, eg in MS Office you can right-click the list
and it'll have a "Clear recents" option, something
like that.
I very much doubt Mach4 does this,
If the list does wind up in the
registry, what you can do is delete all of the files,
then save the Key (registry folder) to a file (will
have a reg extension).? If you then open that file in
the future it will ask if you want to replace the
current Key with it, thus clearing the list.
Oh, and before I said to search for
'Values' in the registry, should have said 'Data'.

Use regedit to search for

i looked in every file i could find, mach3 had an xml file with

doesn't anyone know where the mru list is? i will probably just

Of course given the Mach
devs don't have much of a clue about where
you are supposed to put stuff (C;\Mach4?
Sure!), their list could be anywhere, but
probably in the install folder where
they?dump everything else.
Use regedit to search for
one of the files on the list, it can search
for 3 types of things so just leave 'Value'
ticked.? Try a partial match as well.? This
will be a bit slow as Values aren't
indexed..
The reasons why no-one
clears out the list is because it wastes
time, and the files may only be temporarily
unavailable (different flash drive, network
drive etc) so wiping the 'dead' ones will
annoy a different bunch of people.? There is
the occasional program that'll let you clear
the list, not all that common.

Are you running?with Constant Velocity enabled, G64 mode?
Doing so will result in X and Y starting to move before Z is fully retracted as
the motion planner does blending of the moves to avoid slowing down. Try running
in Exact Stop using G61 mode.

noticed that my Z axis was not coming all the way up from neg. Z. Is there a

this. This is what I have a windows 10 machine, I use mach 3. I have a custom

Hi John,
it may be that the acceleration for the Z axis is set too high. This results in lost steps when the Z axis rapids upwards.
Try reducing the Z axis acceleration by 25% and see if that helps.?

there's a min Z above zero setting for moves (there's a little icon graphic denoting that min Z)
