HSM Works & Mach3

[LSmith]

I have done the model on Solid Works 2013 and the size s approximately 2" x 2" round part.
Integrated with Solid Works 2013 is HSMworks.
Then I do post processing for g code and save the g code file.
Load the g code into Mach3 and do a dry run, the CNC Mill is set with the X & Y at 0 coordinates with mill bit 2" above the work piece
Start the program and the bit depth should be coming down only .050" for the first cut...instead it shows on the code screen that it is gong to travel 12" in Z and 38" for the X & Y to make a very large part.

Is there something that I am missing or need to do?

Thanks.

You have Solidworks and HSMWorks (not express) and your not sure how to run it? That is a min of 10k you spent on software...

Obviously something is wrong. Can you post your Solidworks file?

I have heard of something like this before. the machine was going to its tool length pickup point before starting to cut. could this e the case with your machine?

I personally fail to see your point . Im a solidworks with solidcam used. I happen to be just browsing other cam software today. hen
Point being when I first purchased solidcam 4 , 5th axis simultaneous I was clueless also. Years latter im still learning and improving . My cost was double that easy.
Lsmith,
does it do this on all parts , just this one ?
Could it be your post processor?
