if you posted your code , that would help us help you

[holbieone]

if your using g2 or g3 you mite be missing a g1 or g0 for the next move

OK I used solid edge to draw a plate which is approx 300mm x 300mm roughly and then put some slots and holes in it .. opened it in the cam program and then generated the toolpath and the g code... opened the g code in mach 3 and when it loads it highlights line 43 (i think) and no drawing comes up in the toolpath display... it will not run... incidently this is my first cut on the machine i have just built... soft limit set to x= -300mm and 300mm y= -600mm and 600mm z= -90mm.

tried to upload .nc file but i will not let me line 43 reads
'G2 X401.451 l-15.1 JO.O

i have mach 3 on another pc in the study and the file loads and runs ok (without the cnc machine attached obviously)

may be just a type O but your J has an O instead of a zero

'G2 X401.451 l-15.1 JO.O

Either the starting point and the endpoint of the arc is not equation of the circle. Post your code ....... at least 3 lines where it kick alarm.
