I used to have an TNC145 on my BP series2 interact2 (now switched over to Mach3). I have made molds on it having upto 80000 lines in a single program. This controller jumps back to line number 0 after line 999. I broke my program into segments of 500 lines. Putting the line numbers from 0 to 499 and 500 to 999 on alternate files. Load the fist 1000 lines and when the program execution goes past line 499 then pause the machine and load the next program which has line numbers 0 to 499. This overwrites the previous proram in memory. And when it goes past 999 then load the next program having line numbers 500 to 999. Made a qbasic program to segment the long program file generated by my CAM software. Takes a long time to finish a long cut path like this but it's the easiest workaround I cound find to tackle the 1000 line limit. Maybe somebody has a better solution.
