General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 seems to be adding circles to my code

« on: August 12, 2018, 07:48:58 AM »

I'm just getting started with this. I'm using CamBam Text button to create a letter.
I can make a profile cut or pocket and save the Gcode.
If I run the Gcode thru an online simulator it works as it should but when I bring it into Mach3, the letter is correct but there has been many circles added from it. The circles are of various sizes and are grouped together to almost look like spirals. They are what seems to be randomly added lines in the gcode. If i step thru the code in Mach it shows the circles turning white and if I run the code it does run thru them, but I can not figure out where they are coming from and why they only show in mach

General Mach Discussion / Not showing the whole Gcode

« on: December 14, 2012, 08:06:04 AM »

I have been trying to cut a 3D puzzle of a dump truck that I downloaded. First time I used someone elses file that already had the Gcode file. When I loaded into Mach3  many of the parts were missing.
SO I figured it must have been a bad file. I downloaded the original & laid all of the parts out myself set it all up and found the plugin gplot for sketchup. The gcode was correct when plotted.
So I loaded it into Mach & found the same problem.
The missing parts are in the middle of the cut area, so it cant be a problem with the size of my table or parts.
I dont know where to start...
thanks
