G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: G12 Trouble...

Thank you for giving it a try.
The little code segment I posted is enough to cause the behavior - no other G codes.
So given that this is very uncommon, if not unique to my setup, what could be causing it? It does not appear to be an issue with the CNC machine itself, so it must be the computer setup, no? This is a licensed copy of Mach3 installed on a machine with nothing but XP on it. It certainly does not seem to have any trouble keeping up. I am at a loss.
I did find a partial solution - I reduced the precision from .0001 to .001 and I was able to bore all the holes I needed. I thought it was a real solution until I jogged to a new location and it cut only the short line.
Is there some Mach3 configuration that would affect precision or otherwise affect how G12 is executed?
Thanks so much for your help
