leave some space between old and new so you don't get lost.
edit out what you don't want add what you want.
engage warp drive and machine away!

rob
take the code that you have combined as a text file and post it as an atachment to the forum so we can download it and look at it.
another thing i should mention is their is a nesting wizard under the wizards in mach if you need to do somthing like that too.

Rob,

the first section has M30 as the final code (N89) This is program end & rewind. Take the first one out & the code should carry on to the second section.

 removing M30 did the trick .I am new to cnc and  will have to read up the section on code in the mach 3 manual.
Thanks for your help Bill and Tony .
