G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Import of NC Code fails because of missing i j k info for G2/G3
« on: August 13, 2013, 05:10:41 PM »
Hello CNC folks 
I am Using HSMWorks to create NC code and then use Mach3 to mill. Due to reinstalling my computer and perhaps having automatically made some changes in HSM and the post-processor (didn't have that problem before) I get NC code, which, when imported in Mach3, gets an error message, that the I J K data is missing (for G2 and G3 operations). I have read, that this could be ok, when I J K are modal, meaning, that the previous G2/G3 operation had the same IJK coordinates (incremental mode). I have IJK in inc mode, XY are in absolute.
Does anyone know how can I solve this problem and get Mach3 to interpret the NC code right? When I open the NC code for example in the HSMWorks reader, it can calculate the RIJK values out of the rest somehow... Is there any property in the Options menu of Mach3, which can toggle something, that solves this too?
Many thanks for any hints or help in advance!!!
Best regards!
