Hi I have made a simple drawing in SolidWorks and generated a G-code and I loaded it to my mill with Mach 2 system, but it will not accept my tool and then also not compensate for the tool, I have a tool in my tooltable 6mm diameter and in my mach window It says T6 but I am not sure if there is any ligt that should indicate that its active?
anyway, I thought that I could just change my G-code and get it right! BUT NO!
Sometimes it works a few posts in to the program, and the I get errors
for example : "Concave corner with cutter radius comp on line #23"
this is my code

This is just a 4 sided part with one big hole 50mm and two small holes, it turns out just fine exept the part is 6mm to small and the holes are 6mm to big, due to the cuttercompensation does not work....
I would be very glad if anyone gould explain what I do wrong?
and I can add that I tried to set up the Mach 3 program but I didnt get it to work, so that is not an option at the moment, but I guess that the mach 2 should work...
