General Mach Discussion / mach 3 keeps setting itself to incremental in the distance mode
« on: March 22, 2008, 01:18:59 AM »
I'm running window XP and i'm using Bobcad version 22 set for absolute arcs and Mach 3 set for absolute for the distance mode setting. Everytime I run my G code created in Bobcad I wind up with circular cuts that are slightly off, as in almost true but not exactly. When the code is finished running in Mach 3 the abnormal condition button flashes the message "G90/G91" and then mach 3 resets the distance setting to incremental. I've looked through the g code and i didn't see anything listing a G90 or a G91 which from what i understand represents incremental.
I've also set both Bobcad and mach 3 to incremental and my arcs are still off slighly and the same abnormal condition button flashes with the same G code related message.
Does anyone know what's going on and is this problem causing my arcs to me less than perfect?
