Hello Chip,
     I did a off set around the drawn part in cad, I have4 been doing dummy runs on my home computer, and with some tweaking have managed to get a reasonable program, I'm now in the shop fiddling with my cnc computer, I will keep you posted,

Hello Chip,
     Can I ask you a question about another problem, it relates in a round about way, I wanted to download onto a CD the gcode I had developed and run in Mach3 on the home computer but it seems I am unable too, so I printed it off and typed it onto notepad on the shop cnc computer exactly and loaded it into Mach3 but it did not appear correctly, I have checked mach3 on the home computer and the working code against the print out and that is OK, yet the shop Mach screen is wrong,

Ant ideas?,
