Hi, Graham

This put me on the right track, your file loaded just fine.

But after working through the editing and save options to use other files, I found the Real Culprit.

I use WordPad text editor from time to time, it has 4 formats for saving files, RTF, TXT, MS- DOS and Unicode, text Document save options.

Mach will load all 4 of them, But the Unicode Txt will not show in G-code Window or View, My default editor for Mach is set to Notepad.

So when I hit Edit "notepad" in Mach, it shows the G-code txt just fine, Mach doesn't completely recognize the Unicode Txt though.

Try this File Below, let me now what you think.

Thanks for the Help, Chip

Hi Chip,

I see your problem.

I don't use Notepad, I use Wordpad and I save with the following settings. It works for me every time.
