G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / GCODE CAM Simulation vs MACH3 settings

« on: July 01, 2014, 10:52:52 PM »

    Not sure what I am doing wrong. My BobCAD-CAM simulates the cutting perfectly but when I load the code in MACH3 the 2 features are no longer in line. Both sketches are Identical and are 2" apart one on top of the other.  The first sketch is set to cut the outline only and the second cuts the area around it instead. When I load it into Mach3 they are out of alignment. The first cuts where it is supposed too but the second is shifted negatively on the Y. I am still testing my machine and learning Gcode at the same time. I am looking for an answer in Mach3 and in BobCAD-CAM but hopefully this forum can help me find the answer quicker.
