Need Help!- Gcode wrong

[ianober]

I am trying to do some sample parts in Dolphin Partmaster 08 and then output the Gcode to Mach 3 using the post procs posted on Dolphins site. So far it is outputting some odd circles into the program. I attached a couple photos of the drawn part and of the Mach 3 input screen.

the numbers look good when going through the part file except for the purple circles drawn and it does not matter if I use the radius or Diameter post processor. Anyone seen this? I know the Mach 3 graphics screen is not the best but the proportions are all off too, the diameter is not right or the actual part size is not right.

You are probably using the wrong post. There has been an updated one. Try emailing them direct.

Yes, I agree. You try emailng to him directly.

Will do, thanks. I would have thought the ones they posted on their website would be current. Interesting.

I had this problem with MACH3 mill and found adding G90.1 to program solved the problem of the G02,3 arc taking the long way around.

Go to the configuration page and change the I J setting to relative. It is on absolute now and that causes the circles. I have been through the same problem.
