Title: I get this error massage
Post by: jacques_w on February 22, 2024, 08:27:58 AM

when programming in G-code for Mach3 and I save the program in *********.tap format, I get an error message every time on the Mach3 console.
Question: How do I get rid of the extra entry?

Anything in brackets is interpreted as a comment butthe odd characters before (...New File Started) won't be recognised.  Try deleting them.

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately the mach3 program gives the same error-message.

open the program with text editor and delete everythin before

(*** New file Started ***)

so that (*** is the first entry in the file and save it.

I got this error couple of times.
To resolve it, reinstall Mach3.
If you open the .tap file with notepad everything looks OK.
