Thanks for the reply,
I have Mach 3 running and zeroed my cnc. Next I click load G code. The file that I want to load is on my desk top, but when I look at my desk top files in Mach 3, the file is not there. Also, the G-code on the cd that came with the cnc does not show up either. If I look to see what is on the disc outside of Mach 3, the files are there also. They do not show up when I try to open them in Mach 3. I hope this explanation is clear.
