Hi first time on the forum and I have a problem
Mach3 stops running the program at line 4860 every time I try running it.
I have no problem running shorter programs but on this one it just stops.
I am using:
Windows XP
Mastercam X4, Vectric Aspire 3, and BobCad Cam
Mach3 (Mach3 R3.043.066) it is licensed.
I have tried turning off the tool path display and that didn't help.
I have noticed that when I load the program in the top left where the code is displayed that it only shows part of the code down to line 4860
the code goes to 19360.
I did get it to show the full code once but as soon as I connected to the controller it messed up again.
I attached a picture of the Mach3 and the program I am using.
The program is engraving letters on a cylinder using the 4th axis.
I have used Bobcad, aspire 3, and mastercam to write the program with all stop around 4800 on the code.

You are using a pirate licence and that effectively puts Mach into Demo mode. Demo mode is restricted to 500 lines of code so that is why you have what you have :)

Since you didn't pay for Mach3, did you pay for Aspire and MasterCAM?

I bought the machine off ebay and was told it was licensed copy
the other software I own I bought legally.

This is the machine I am using, I got it for engraving some name plates and stuff
the machine was bought used and came with a computer that was suppose to have Mach3 on it which it does but apparently the license is not legal.
I have mastercam and the others on my work computer.
now that I know that is the problem is i'll go buy Mach3 license.
thanks for the help

Thank you everyone for the help it was the Mach3 license.
I didn't know when I bought the machine that it was a pirated version of the software that came with it, I just bought the license and removed the pirated version
and re-insalled from a fresh licensed copy and everything works fine now. ;D
