Limit on G-Code length?
« on: October 05, 2006, 07:27:57 PM »
My Mach 3 (latest V) on Win XP Home only loads about 1000 lines of G code, it displays the project based on those 1000 lines - and will run them - but my actual file is 4000 lines long (Bob-Code).

Any Ideas?

you can get around the 1000 line limit by calling subroutines.
split the original file into 800 (or so) line segments, adding the return code to the end of each. 
Consecutively name each file.
create first file to do nothing but call the subs.   p.s. put your subs in the subfolder.
I've processed over 200k lines this way.
As always, support your favorite software.
