Hello after my old motion controller died i was using mach 3 then after lots of research i decided on uccnc licenced + axbb-e
which i have installed and working however uccnc is comunicating with the axbb-e i can move it around but for the life of me i cannot load a dxf file
i have been stuck on this for 5 weeks and cannot use my table :( & loosing and lost a heap of work
from what i can see is UCCNC can only load DXF file can't load gcode or other files

Wanting what program will save the file into DXF that this UCCNC program will work?
or
Suggesting a better program to use on the AXBB-E?

Thanking you Tillo

UCCNC can load g-code. There's no reason to try to load a .dxf file if you have g-code.

The ability to UCCNC to load DXF is only done through the CAM tool of UCCNC ... it is just a tool.
The normal way is simply loading gcode in uccnc ("load file" button)

Hi Tilo.
What program/software are you using to design your dxf files. You would normally use your softwares postprocessor to output the file as g code ie,.nc extension or maybe .tap
Cheers.

You have to press the enter keyboard key to finsih the input to the profile name draw, this is why you getting that error message in the UCCNC.
The other errer message in MAch3 you getting, because you using a cracked Mach3 license key.

You can purchase a proper mach3 license and install it. Or you could remove the license key (Mach1lic.dat) file in the Mach3 folder and then run Mach3 2 times after that you can import the license file.
Mach3 will then run in demo mode, but your goal is not to impor the profile into UCCNC so it should be not a problem IMO.

Hi, I have sorted out with profile but now when I start the software don't ask me about UC100 in that window start and my CNC doesn't move like I'm not connected
I don't spend another money because I'm ready out of the budget with a new spindle, UC100, and Licence for UCCNC need to make this one working
I tray look to the tutorials to be possible to sort out in some way to make work.
