Hello,

I'm a new Mach3 user, I found a lot of topics concerning my problem on this forum but didn't found any solution...

I have the License version of Mach3 installed on my PC (Win XP SP2 Home Edition). I verified, it's the License version (my name is written, Licensed To: "me")
but I still have the 500 lines limit which message "End program" when arriving at the line 500 and that with all G-code I tested.

I put this version on another computer (Win 7 Ultimate but no parallel port) and it works perfectly: mach can go over the #500 line.

so if you have any solution...

Thanks for your time.

license@machsupport.com I think this is it.

but I still have the 500 lines limit which message "End program" when arriving at the line 500 and that with all G-code I tested.

There is no "End Program" message when the 500 line limit is reached. It sounds like that message is in the  end of your g-code.

Are there any other errors?

Can you post the g-code?

sorry, the message is "End of File Estop selected" because I checked the option "E-stop the system" in General Config --> Prgm End or M30 or Rewind group box.

line 500 is considered as an end file...

here is the G-code, it's a g-code from an art toolpath (mastercam): (I don't know how to post the complete file)

Attach your xml and the code you are using as attachments please, you will likely need to rename the xml first as the forum only allows file names to  be posted once.
