Hello Bill, thank you for all the time you are spending trying to educate me, OK, heres the problem now, first I was unable to open your autocad drawing, something about not compatable, so I had to use my drawing, I followed your instructions and managed to produce a G-code and post it in a clipboard, the tool starts with a leadin to the left bottom corner of the part, and travels around the outside edge in a clockwise direction perfectly, but as it nears the end of its run, right at the large radius where the tool should travel upwards slightly to the small .250 radius and then travel downwards and then finish in a horizontal direction to the bottom left corner, the tool stops at the bottom of large radius and then shoots over to the finish corner stops and it then reverses back cutting into the part and stopping at the bottom of the large radius, the reverse path is a blue colour, and the clockwise is green,
Sorry to sound like a dunce, but sometimes I have a hard time decifering.
