I have gone back to a normal Lset screen and then loaded the ball tap file found the same condition made changes to the reverse arcs and diam no change in the crop circles and how can i find the backup XML for the lathe what would be its name.

That's exactly what i did changed it to Lset unless when i did an update the update changed it back to Mill set. Just took a look at Mach and see there are more then one XML also i looked and the screen set is named 1024 Lset so don't know whats up?

 Yes it is the same screen as is used in the mill application but i modified it to use in the lathe as i did not like the lathe screen you may be right so i will change the screen to the lathe screen set up and see what happens.

 OK, went to config ports and pins found that reverse arcs was already checked but it was in radius so i checked the dia and loaded the balls same thing crop circles.

Thanks

I loaded the code you post here into Mach for my lathe and got crop circles so while Mach works for my present setup it is not going to work for Dolphin i have Mach version R3.042.029 this is what i am presently running in the past when i have updated Mach it has screwed up the settings and then it a real pain to get thing's back up and running again would you think my present version of Mach to be the problem ?

Rich thanks for the code this will help me sort out where the problem is weather Mach or Dolphin, I had a lot of problem with Mach for my lathe then got it sorted with the help of Chip from this forum as i posted earlier Mach works just fine with the present cam programs i have they are just not that good for machining complicated shapes or inside turning facing ETC again my reason for looking at Dolphin. About the Balls its tuff getting older as its said getting old is not for sissies.
Hey Thansk for the extra ball though never know when a guy is going to need one.

I understand i have to learn where and what boxes have to be filed in or checked i don't find Dolphin hard to use at all it's the end code right now that is the problem the code is incorrect in Mach so the post has a problem i am working with Dolphin to get it fixed.

Thanks
