Newfangled Mill Wizard / Problem with G-code on Arches and circles.

« on: July 07, 2013, 01:30:55 AM »

I installed the newest version of Mill Wizard 1.0.9 on my laptop running windows 8
When I makeup and save the G-code files for circle and arches then copy them to my Desk Top PC running Windows XP with Mach3 Version R3.043.066 and try to run them I get a multitude of errors from complete circle cuts in the Arch Slot Program, to Error Block codes like (Zero radius arc, Block) in simple circle G-code, (Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start) in a Link G-code. Below are two of the G-codes files that will not run because of errors Blocks.  These errors seem to be related to mostly any arc or circle in the G-code
Thank
Michael

Newfangled Mill Wizard / Gcode on Circle, Arc and feed rate errors

« on: March 17, 2013, 06:14:18 PM »

I recently purchase licensed versions of Mach3 Version R3.043.066, and Newfangled Mill Wizard Version 1.03 and install them on my PC running Windows XP professional, and everything seem to be working fine with the exception of making up the Gcode in Newfangled Mill Wizard for Circles Arcs or Arc plunge and try to run it in Mach3.  I get an error code.
Zero radius arc, Block= G02 X-22.2250 I-22.2250 F100.0

The other problem I am having is the Feed Rate on some of the Programs cutting options for example the Rectangle function the plunge feed rate is the only one carried through the entire Gcode See code below
