General Mach Discussion / Artcam with mach3 gcode funk issues

« on: February 17, 2010, 01:44:03 AM »

So i have the chance of using a friends artcam prog to design my designs... well the designs are finished and i create tool paths, save them under mach2(inch). Everything is fine and dandy so far. Here is the issue. When I open mach3 and load the gcode, it places the starting Z cords not at 0 but at -0.75. So my starting cut is well below my material thickness. What is really going on here. Is there a setting I'm missing? Either in mach3 or artcam?... Anyone have any hits that could help? Does anyone have the artcam post processor for mach3?

Thanks for your help,
