My guess would be you need to set the A axis rotation in Config - Control - Tool path

You also have no Y axis start point in the code.

  This is a rotary project , Y is not used . This file cuts fine , it just does not show up correctly on the Mach 4 screen.

 Be sure to check all the modal states and ensure you are using all GCODE calls that can be found in the appropriate MACH GCODE manual. All of which are found within the DOCS folder in their installation.

If a G code is called and not in the manual... the toolpath won't load
