General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 producing very strange unpredictable output
« on: January 22, 2017, 09:06:31 PM »
I am running Version Mach 3 version R3.043.022 on a Win7 box.
My setup has always functioned correctly.
I have not used it in over a year.
Today I fired it up to do a simple cutting job and found that when I load the G-Code the image it is going to process looks nothing like it does in CamBam or SheetCam.
I thought my current file had some bad parameters in it BUT then I opened old G-Code project files and they looked just as bad.
I know the older G-Code files were good and were used on previous jobs.
The images seem to resemble stairs. Very strange.
The Win7 PC is dedicated to running Mach3. It has not been turned on since I last used the mill so nothing could have changed in the PC.
Any suggestions?
