Unexpected tool path
«

Hi
Ok, I'm experiencing some strange tool path results.
using Autodesk Invento, I drew a test wing profile section and generated the tool path using the Autodesk CAM plugin. The toolpath can be viewed in the editor and looks like I would expect.

However, when I copy the file to my CNC machine and open the file in Mach4 the toolpath looks somewhat different.

I have no idea where these circles come from and what they are for. I need to delete these but don't really want to scroll through 20add thousand lines to find and delete the.
Any ideas???

I resolved the issue, was my own doing
I did not select Mach as the destination system that will use the code. Once I defined that in the post-processor it all looked a lot better.
