Sizing issue

[ivarton]

First let me say thank you in advance for any help.

Im a total cnc newbie. I bought a small machine from Zen Tool Works, put it together and I'm running it from a semi dedicated PC running Mach 3.
My problem is that when I make something in art cam and generate the G-Code it seem to be way too big for my machine and it trips the limit switches.
Has anyone run into this problem? Was there a solution?

I wasn't sure where to start asking questions so I figured id try here.

Once again thanks in advance for any help

Are you working in metric in ArtCam and imperial in Mach? What post-processor are you using the ArtCAM?

[ivarton]

Metric for both (I think) and I dont know what a post processor is or does

Sorry, used to other CAM programs. I looked it up and ArtCAM has it labeled "Machine output formatted for:" with a pull down list. Look for Mach3mm or metric or something like that or maybe G-Code mm?

Also, if you run a Mach 3 wizard like a rectangular pocket, does that code work?
