Hi All,

I tried to post this in the bugs section but it considered me a "spammer". Maybe because my text had links in it? ... Anyway

If you use this profile: http://www.c-horsesoftware.com/mach3issue/FireballV90.xml

It incorrectly renders this job: http://www.c-horsesoftware.com/mach3issue/JRC_faceplate.dnc

Here's what it should look like (this is from DeskCNC):



Here's what it looks like on Mach3:



It renders properly when I use the Mill profile that comes with the software. Any idea what's causing it?

Maybe the IJ mode?

Hi, Fred

Post the dxf file we'll look at it, May just be a setting in Mach3 like a g90.1 or g91.1 IJ's in abs inc mode set incorrect or XY XZ plane setting.

You  need preamble setting's in the top of your G code to configure Mach to the "Proper State" to run/display the Code properly.

Put a G91.1 in the top of your G code, Look's good hear, Try the att. G code file.

Thanks for all your responses folks.

There's a link in my initial post to the actual G-Code file if you'd like to investigate. It's the JRC_faceplate.dnc link.

I re-created the Fireball Profile and it displays properly now (as I suspected it would since it displays properly with the Mill sample profile). It's more than likely something I did to the config settings of my initial Fireball profile... I just can't figure out what.

Thanks again for your feedback.

I simply created a new profile, entered my soft limits, ports, motor setup, etc. And the exact same file now renders properly... but I sure would like to know how I made it happen in the first place.

To reproduce the problem you'll have to download the XML from the link in my first post. Load the FireballV90 profile at startup or you won't see the problem. But, again, the problem is gone so I'd hate to waste too much of anyone's time. If you do figure it out, please post. If I figure it out I'll do the same.

Hi, Fred

I did find your G code file, It was a Preamble setting and posted your G code with a G91.1 in it in my post above.

Glad you got it sorted out, Chip

Thanks Chip

I missed the attachments when I read it innitially.
