If you want to run more than 500 lines of code, then you must use sub-routines, and an editor, like Microsoft Word, to split your code into 500 line chunks. Word is best at this, becasue it automatically numbers the lines, and as you chop 450 - 500 off, it renumbers.
I did this on a 5000 line code for drill and milling a printed circuit board, and it worked a treat. The main prgram just called the 10 subroutines in order.
When you feed it into mach 3 at the beginning, then, as Hood said, it goes through all the lines, and the subroutines, and paints a full picture.
A bit messy, but it works. Thank goodness I don't use long program.
Hello,
If you are willing to work on your code everytime to make it under 500 lines you are a better man then I
. I think we are going to revisit the licensing, I am thinking rather then having a 500 line limit that we will make it time out. During the demo you will be able to run as many lines as you like. This I think would give people a better way to test the software and all it's features. In the end we would like users to buy a license not because we are looking for profit but because it is what pays for the servers you are posting on and also the devlopment
... In the end I think Mach3 is a good value. We would like to make it so you can test the software but on the other hand it cost money to do all the work that we are doing so it will never be free. If Mach3 where Unsupported Freeware I would not be able to work on the code the way I am now (It is more then a ful time job).
You should show us what you are making with the Demo! I love to see what people are working on !
Thanks
