EDIT[/u]  Perhaps thoroughly check your Gcode to make sure that your post-processor is not inserting some codes which are not properly recognized by Mach3.

I am using Aspire 8.502 to create the gcode so there shouldn't be any code that isn't properly recognized by Mach3.

Hi Gene,

Please excuse the really dumb question but are you using the Mach2/3... post processor when saving the toolpath ?

(I already know the answer but I just had to ask).

PEACE

Hi Tweakie,

Yes I use:  Mach2/3 ATC (inch)(*txt). Also I'm using screenset 2010 so I'm able to do the tool change.

Hi Gene,

Sorry but more questions...
My next line of thought is referring back to your reply #5
When a Gcode file is loaded a number of things happen, one of which is to create the toolpath display.

Do you have a non-integrated video graphics card fitted in your PC ?
How much RAM does it have ?

Tweakie.
PEACE

Hi Theakie
Not sure about the video card but there are 16 GB of RAM. Never had a problem with the toolpath in the display.
