Hi, i have just finished building a 3 axis router running Mach3 and an now in the process of testing but could do with a little help. I am using Artcam as my cad/cam package. When i input a simple 2D program the whole program is displayed in Mach3 and executes to the end. When i input a bigger more complicated program involving 3D contours only part of the program is displayed and the machine starts to execute then grinds to a halt and Mach3 then hangs and i have to restart the program. does Mach3 have a limit to the number of lines in a program or does the problem lie elsewhere? Could it be there is something in the post output that Mach3 doesn't like? Any help greatly appreciated.

Scratch, If your using the demo Mach, it will stop at 500 lines of code. Buying a license will make it unlimited to the number of lines you can run.

Many thanks Brett, i have purchased the license but had forgotten to load it onto the laptop i am using for testing. As my wife would say ,another senior moment.
