Title: Radius to end of arc differs from radius of start line
Post by: pudly123 on November 14, 2018, 11:44:38 AM: I n mach3, when running a gcode, I get this error message. I was going to look it up in the search box, but the search function is not working. Does anyone know why this is happening? I changed the ij line to absolute, as suggested after in one forum. That didn't work. I am at a loss.

Can you post the code?

Post by: pudly123 on November 14, 2018, 12:10:28 PM: I removed all the GOO lines at the end of this code because I was getting the duplicate lines error with the GOO lines at the end. Should I have removed all the GOO lines at the end, or just certain ones? Could removing these lines be the problem? I am attaching the original, along with one with the GOO lines removed.

Post by: pudly123 on November 14, 2018, 12:30:35 PM: I compared both codes and one is much larger than the other. That is very strange. And thanks ger, buy I have tried changing it to incremental and back again.

Post by: pudly123 on November 14, 2018, 01:13:57 PM: I tried the Gcode with the original G00 lines in place, removed the goo from 2 lines, then replaced it with a new line, as Tweakie instructed me eons ago, it seems. Now it is working nicely. I believe I had a corrupt Gcode o I removed the wrong G00. Whichever one, I sOlved the problem thanks to Ger. If the file wasn't requested I would never have noticed the difference in the files. Cheers to you Ger!
