Hi everyone .Looking for some help for a brand new nooby to CNC. I have purchased some DXF files from the internet and have tried to load them into Mach 3 . I have tried 2 so far and both give me the same error. It tells me that on line 0 there is a code problem . Since I don't know what the code should look like what should I be looking for? I have attached the G code that was generated by Mach 3. The job is just a small butterfly with no inside cuts. any help would be appreciated

I should mention further to my last post that the error on line 0 is"Bad Character"

I see no problem with your Gcode.
If I remember correctly, maybe Mach3 went hiwire as it happened to me on one of my computers.
Try reinstalling Mach3, and do not use spaces in File name. Use at least underscore _

Thanks for the reply. I think you might be right about Mach 3 because every file that I try to bring over from Sheet Cam shows the same code even the pre loaded files where I know the code must be good because I have cut some of them already. We are away from the college until the new year. Is reinstalling Mach 3 a difficult process. I have looked on YOUTube but i'm looking for the most user friendly version.

Reinstalling is easy as 1-2-3
Just back up your profile, if you use default one that you modified, licence file and folder with macros - just in case.
