I've been getting the same error also.  This is coming up on programs that have been used with no problems and new programs using exactly the same software.  I can use point to point and all is good, but arcs will not go at all.  They will cut, but all wrong.  I've tried making sure G20 is on and deleting the G54 that I'd read about.  No luck.  I've also reformatted thecomputer and reinstalled the Mach 3 that has always worked before.  Again no luck.  HELP PLEASE!

I started out with the basic flat design, added the width I wanted the star to be plus the cutter diameter and a center line.  Then figured out where those lines intersected with arcs on the radius of the cover and translated the center lines to the height I wanted and traslated all the intersection points again to get the over and under pattern.  It took a while to get the points to come out right, But I was really happy with the finished product.  That's about a clear as mud I'm afraid, but as close as I can get to explaining it.
