large circles in M3
« on: March 15, 2014, 01:26:56 PM »
I am just getting started with Mach3. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I am having a problem with gcode.

The gcode looks fine when viewed in cutviewer:

Reverse your I J setting under Config / General Config.
See if that helps,

Thanks Russ,

I am not sure I understand what to reverse on the gen config page. Can you point out this setting?
