HI Khalid,
You're really working hard!
I checked the code and I didn't find any mistake.
Everything looks really good, but like I said yesterday - this week I'll be very busy.
Hopefully, I can try to run the code with the machine tonight.
Good job Khalid

Kiefer, Here is the update:
1- You can now change Z-value in initial settings the minimum is 1
2- Changes made in the Gcode generation algorithm as mentioned in above post
Please replace the file and let me know if you need any help.

OK
here is again something:
line 706 and 707
G01 Z6820\
\
Mach3 wouldn't read this. You must delete this character first.
I found this in this code here:
Line 706: G01 Z6820\
Line 707: \
Line 1868: G01 Z18260\
Line 1869: \
Line 2334: G01 X-4.5 Y22.2 Z22910\
Line 2335: \
Line 3039: G01 X2.2 Y0.9 Z29810\
Line 3040: \

hi khalid, every file generation, save by software have \ per line
my solution is copy and pate to notepad

[Khalid]

It doesn't appear here on my computer. Kiefer pls send me the GCODE file to see.

[Khalid]

The "Space" or a blank line is converted to "/" .. Please see the latest update and let me know

[kiefer]

It doesn't appear here on my computer. Kiefer pls send me the GCODE file to see.

If you open the file with WordPad, there is only empty space.
If you try to load the G code to mach 3 - it recognizes as a bad character.
I open the file with Notepad++, and I can see it.
I checked many different files, and appears in every file
here is the g code
I have to go now to work

[tivoidethuong]

[Khalid]

Okay Tivoi, i shall check your file and let me see the problem.

[Khalid]

Tivio, pls check this and tell me are u still finding the bad character?
