You can drive up to 6 axis at any one time,  it all depends on how you want to control the heads, if all are on a common Y and Z axis then you can have as many as you want,  if all the heads have independent movement then the 6 axis limit comes into play.

Why can't you use an M0 (Mzero) instead of a G4 Pxx, M0 will wait until you press the start button.

Have you checked to see if the machine is moving the correct amount by MDI

e.g.

In MDI dro enter

G92 X0 Y0 Z0
G00 X1.

this will zero out the machine at what ever point it is at and then move 1 inch in the plus direction

You may be loosing steps on the rapids or high feeds, that can make thing get out of place.

If its moving ok then if you post the file(s) I will have a look.

Try Google maps, load as raster images and convert them to DXF.

It looks as if the clipboard thinks its Rich Text Format(RTF).

Cut and paste it to notepad and then SaveAs a Text file.
