General Mach Discussion / Mach3 won't generate toolpath.. Stops on G17 when loading
« on: December 11, 2009, 11:24:01 PM »
I'm having a strange issue that I'm not sure how to fix. I'm doing an ingraving with G code generated by BobCAD/CAM. I've engraved and cut one part, and I'm now trying to do the mirrored reverse of that same engraving and part. I used the same CAD drawing, mirrored it across the Y axis and generated the G code. But Mach3 loads the code, doesn't generate the toolpath and stops at the first line that has a G17 in it. Two lines exist with G17's and when I click on the G code display in Mach3 it just jumps back and forth between the two G17 lines. I'm assuming it's indicating a problem but the same G17 lines exist in the mirrore reverse and that G code loads just fine. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look at?
