    I think Im completely lost:)

    After getting the right plane and gettting the units right the Gcode is funny. Im getting no Z axis movement and a bunch of wasted redundant X movement like-

    N0100 G01 X3.6100
    N0100 G01 X3.7350
    N0100 G01 X3.8600
    N0100 G01 X3.9850
    N0100 G01 X4.1100
    N0100 G01 X4.4850
    N0100 G01 X4.6100

    Im guessin it might just be missing the Z movement that would go inbetween those X movements
    I am also unable to get the lables to have different numbers.
    Im having alot of trouble with this software even after going through the tutorials and help a bunch of times.

    Could this be a flat surface plan?
    Are there any "Z" moves at all.
    What do we have to show for the shap that we can view.

    Its not suppose to be a flat surface plan. I did a search for a Z in the code and it couldnt find one. The code also has a bunch of m05s for no aparrent reason and never has the spindle on which Im sure is due to something being set up wrong by me. Theres also so lines with g01 and g00 with nothing else. Maybe thats where the z movments should be?
    It doesnt look like this is going to be the software for me.
