Just to confirm. Turning the toolpath display off fixed the problem.

Thank You guys.

I tried turning off toolpath as Tweakie suggested in his first post and it seams that did the trick. I'm machining new piece with 360,000 lines of code; once done I will confirm if toolpath display indeed solve the issue.

It happens every time I run longer code. It doesn't matter if the code is 300,000 lines or 500,000 lines. It always happens on the very few last lines (less then a millimeter of final carving work).  Mach runs through the rest of the code, and goes on the first line as everything was done, but the machine will go left-right few centimeters forever. Sometimes it even gets stuck. But always losses XY position after this (Z is fine).

Here is the bottom part of the code:

Purchasing new license didn't fix the issue.
Still, after 350,000+ lines of code, on the last few lines machine goes crazy.

Go figure, machine came with the pirated license. I bought new license today under my name.
I'll let you know if this solved the issue on hand.

Thanks, will try that.
Just to be clear, it is not the PC that gets stuck, rather the table loses position and moves to some odd place.

Hello All;

Hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem.

I run relief cut from Artcam. It takes from 3-8 hours to finish and towards the very end, when only few lines left to finish machine gets stuck. I tried changing orientation of a cut but didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
