Dear Friends:

I am new to the use of Mach3. I am trying to create my first G code using the Inkscape Gcodetools. I have the following problem. When loading my program in mach3. In the toolpath window there are huge spirals that do not correspond to my program. Apparently some preparatory codes are missing. On all the codes associated relations with circular compensation etc. In some occasions I introduce these codes and G21 G64 G41 G40 G71 is solved. But this is eventual. It is not always.

I hope you can help me.

Best regards

Hi Marce,

You are currently using a Pirate Mach3 license.
You will need to purchase a genuine license before the forum can offer any assistance to resolving problems.

Licenses blacklisted in Mach3 (found in .062:
Schopler    Juberian    Allison Scanners    bassam  PAPA FABIO  Ivan Todosijevic    Sompob  Advanced Control Tech (ACT) MaoA~A ¯Ðtonar rebecca crans   Vortech CNC Jeff Sandstrom  Maksim Amvtonar

Figure out which one you have

As Tweakie wrote, you should buy one. These blacklisted licenses may give you a lot of trouble and broken bits.

Hoooo !!! I am really sorry. I had no way of knowing that the license was false. This mach3 license came along with a USB control card that I bought on Ebay! You think I bought an original license. This problem would be solved?

Best regards

Well... I do not know the quirks Mach3 does if it detects blacklisted licenses . You could ask Art
Regular license behaves normally with only bugs present in Mach3.
