Title: loading G code
Post by: jwilliamsjj on February 16, 2016, 07:56:50 PM

Today I ran several new files through Sheetcam exactly as I have many times. When I went into Mach 3 to bring the files in, one at a time, to cut, the G code would not load.  I few lines did load but it is not the G code for the files.  I was able to cut the files by going straight from Sheetcam into Mach 3 immediately upon saving the file after posting.  I then tried to load G code from previously cut files, some of which I have cut many times, with the same result.  I must have inadvertently changed some setting, but cannot figure it out.  When I click on the file name to download the G code, just a few lines appear, but they are not the G code.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Hi Jimmy,
 Do you get any message in the Status line at the bottom of the RUN screen ?

I did not notice any message there, but did not specifically look.

Please check it next time and also post your profile XML file.
Copy it, rename it and add it under the Reply Additional buttons.

I use SCam too and have never seen this before. I'll try it with your configuration.
