Thanks Hood.  I have to head off to work now.  I'll add that tomorrow and see if it solves the problem.

Hood, I thought so too, but I've looked several times and didn't find it.  As a side note, my wife always finds something I'm looking for after I've looked for it and failed.  So I tell her, I'll look again, but I"m pretty sure it's not there.  Once in a great while, I'm right.

Thanks for the input.  I figured it was something like that.  I've had other issues on the mill side with the turbocam code.  

I looked for the threading wizard, and couldn't find one.  The only one I found was a milling thread wizard.  That would be an easy way to solve my problem.  Anyone have a link?

Update: I upgraded to v029 and I still have the same problem.

Hello, I'm running v3.042.027  I'm running the following code to test a threading operation.  When I load the code I get an error message that says, "non integer value for integerline 14."  This is just a simple 1" 8tpi routine.  Can anyone suggest why mach3 turn doesn't like it?  If it matters, I used turbocad v 14 and their cam plugin to create the code.
