Title: Mach not importing full job. non-demo version. Tested with Cambam and Partkam
Post by: blitz355 on July 09, 2013, 12:18:11 AM

Hello everyone,

Started making my first 'real' job today on cambam which consists of some engraving and profiling. Engraving the words "frankencnc". After exporting the gcode to mach 3 in the "preview" window it displays "Franke" and the rest of the design/file is nowhere. The same thing happened when i used an online based CAM software called partkam, which is free and works well.

Ideas, comments, etc.. welcome and appreciated.

Regards

Demo mode is only good for 500 lines of code.

Thats why I said that I'm not using a demo mode, but a licensed one

Hi Blitz,

Welcome to the forum.

If you attach your Mach3Mill.xml file or if you are using a named profile then [your profile].xml file (rename it to blitz.xml and use the additional options below your reply) we can take a look at your Mach3 setup and make a diagnosis of the problem.

If your code is not correct it will muff up on import, check you gcode.

Either you should be getting an error message, or you're in demo mode. If you go to Help> About, do you see your name? Or in newer versions of Mach3, your name should be displayed in the Title bar. Is it?
