There is "support" for this? I was pretty much assuming it had been abandoned.

In version 4300, removing all the M codes made no difference.

Since there is interest in the gcode, I've attached a file which causes the problem.

Just curious MitchB, What program did you use to generate the .nc file. I use BobCad. v 28.

Pat

I used MadCam from Rhino.

I think you should try this version :-

Thanks for that suggestion.  As a test, I reinstalled 4300 after seeing that 3804 worked.  4300 still didn't work.  Then I tried version 4410 and that works fine.

Sorry for not replying to Graham.  The files I am trying are quite simple and small and have no special M codes.  They worked previously and I'm pretty sure they worked in version 4300 - so that is a bit mysterious.

Thanks for that suggestion.  Going back to version 3804 fixed my problem as well.

Are the gcode files very big

No.  Very small.

I am using Mach4 Build 4300 on Win 7.  When I load or regenerate a toolpath, the progress bar progresses a little and then hangs.  This just started happening and nothing that I'm aware of has changed with my system.  This occurs with all .nc files including ones which have worked fine previously.

Oh.  It's a bug with the latest version.  The previous version works as expected.  Except with that version (and maybe the latest also) selecting CW doesn't change the path to CW - it remains CCW.
