Thanks for trying to help. I got a little help direct from Machsupport. There was a bug in my Newfangled file. They refered me to another post on here
http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16126.0.html...
I replaced my Newfangled file with the one provided in the link and all is good now.

Again, it's so good you wanted to help!!

Hello. 
I have a newfangled wizard problem with threadmilling on the outside. I have used the wizard numerous times to generate G-code for internal cuts with no problems, but when trying to generate G-code for external threads it is only cutting half the length of the thread (half moon). I've copied the code that it generated and pasted it below.
 
Hope you can help!

Graham I was sure that the error wasn't in the code. The math looked right. I do think the problem is resolved. Andrew @ Machmotion had me change the CV angle from 75 degrees to 45 degrees (in config/general config). I don't understand what that did, but it seems to have corrected the problem.

I see your posts constantly as I read along on this forum, and I think that's awesome. Glad your on here to try and help so many people!

I've got the same problem or a similar problem. My router will cut complete cirlcles, squares, etc. perfectly. But when I try to cut an open arch it ends up + or - 0.200" short. If I tell the machine to move 75 inches it moves 75 inches. I've checked the math in the code and it's what you'd expect. This will drive you nuts!!! How can the machine accurately step off everything else, but then consistently step off short during certain action. I also have a milling machine that I use the same program and it performs all actions perfectly. As for backlash wouldn't it show up in all the other cuts also? I'm certain that there is not .020" backlash in the router, much less .200". Please help if you have figured anything out.

I've got a machine that I've just retrofitted with a mach3 controller, and 4 identical spindles. It sounds like you are doing the same kind of thing that I'm doing. I need to turn off the spindle that I want to change from, raise that spindle with a pilot air valve, offset for my spindle location, turn on contactors for the spindle I want, turn on the spindle drive, and turn on a pilot air valve to lower the spindle. I believe you are just a few days ahead of me. If you get your's done please post your macro so I can take a look. If I get mine done before you I'll post mine so you can take a look. Hope all goes well!
