Won't load G Code?

[robertmonroe]

Mach 3 won't load the full G Code sample Cross.tap

Everything was fine I could load the full Cross.tap and then I started setting the homing, table size, etc.. and when I re-gen toolpath not all the G code loads up only a small part of it.

It wont load any G Code generated in V Carve for Mach2/3 Inches, I always get a circle starting at the 0 point.

I want to start cutting but I don't know the problem

Does it give you any message in the bottom part of the screen, like illegal character on line nnn or whatever?

"Crop-cricles" usually means that the IJ mode in Mach3 is set opposite to what the code is written for, Config->General Config->IJ Mode.

There's also a limit of 500 lines (I think) in the demo version, do you have a license and if so is it properly loaded? Help->About should display your name.

If you use double brackets Example(comment brackets ( inside) will get an error) it will not load properly, but it usually will note something to that affect in the error. It is easy to overlook, but once you run into this problem you will be more aware of it in the future.
Are you sure you have not located the work within the 'soft limits' of the machine? Look at the error messages if any?
If you get circles drawn where arcs should be drawn the IJ Mode is set to the wrong option. It is either Absolute or Incremental and each setting is slected with a radio button here: Config->General Config->Startup Modals/IJ Mode as H.O noted above. It is easy to change and try and even reset to the original setting if it doesn't fix the problem.
