Title: Gcode from Vcarve only display the last portion of the code
Post by: brentwab on August 10, 2015, 12:32:52 PM

I need some help with a gcode issue; I may have something set-up incorrectly. I can design in vcarve and run gdoes in Mach3 just fine but now I am trying to get more creative with my designs. For example, I designed a sign where I am carving out the background of the sign and then with a tool change, going back with a vgroove bit to clean the letters. There are four bit changes for the entire sign and when the gcode is loaded to Mach3, it only shows the last step in the table.  Any ideas?

Are you using an ATC post in V Carve Pro?

Are you selecting ALL operations at the bottom right of VCarve before generating the code ?
Just from memory .... not using it here.

I will check again this evening and get back. I may even post the gcode on this forum to see if anyone notices anything strange
