sorry to be a pain guys but I'm new to this. Have downloaded, read manual and got it working except when I post gcode it just makes an empty file...there is no gcode in it. I have run the sim and highlighted the toolpath in the left box but still no code.....help please?

That is a very common problem in Win7.
I think I posted the fix and I think it is in the manual too.

We never have the time or money to do it right the first time, but we somehow manage to do it twice and then spend the money to get it right.

No problem.

What kind of lathe do you have?

I am getting my DM3000H lathe ready to go so I can use it on that.

Hank,
Sorry to hear about the pc . May i recommend that you invest in a program like Acronis ( $45 ) and backup the whole pc onto an external independant drive ( they are cheap these days ).
Makes for a complete installation ( does the operating system also )  back to a new pc lin ess than a 1/2 hour.

Rich,
Thank's A Billion, just what I was looking for.
As for the PC, I don't want to get into details on this fourm,BUT, it was the backup drive that took a $$it. Go figure. And thanks for the solution you had mentioned. I think I will invest in a B.U. seperate from the PC.  Thanks Again,    Hank S.
