So as the title says, I'm running mach 3 and sometimes the software gets stuck when loading a gcode file at generating the toolpath. It looks like it's consistently hanging at one of the first few lines, a G20 command. I have to click cancel on the toolpath losing, click stop, then regenerate toolpath, and finally twins the gcode. Sometimes it loads just fine.
Any ideas?

Then you don't need a G20 in the program, there may be other problems with the code also, cut paste some of it here.Quote:

Yes that is not very good, if you can change the Post Processor it may help, or if you can edit the Post, it would be even better. You don't want to be using a G28 G91 this is an incremental move, your program is G90 absolute so it is best to keep all moves the same, canned cycles are incremental, and are canceled with a G80 usually placed after the Drilling operation, there are other canned cycles not just for Drilling, this is just ( 1 ) of themQuote:
