    unwanted circles

    Gday to all,

    I have a small problem when I generate code with bobcad 21 and then put the code into Mach 3 I get a perfect circle which should not be there. I have attached the code it is only the letter M which I am pocketing. I seem to get this more than I want to on all different job types. In state Distance Mode is Absolute and IJ mode is INC.

    Unwanted circles

    Is BobCad putting out code for circular cuts with absolute center coordinates instead of the incremental that you have setup in Mach3?

    I have just noticed, for some reason there is an I and J code without any X or y Values.

    I have found if I delete this part of code the program runs fine.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks
