I am using BOBCAD-CAM V23 which is loaded onto a computer running Windows Vista. I then transfer my program to another computer, via a memory stick, where I load it into MACH 3. (I have a small desktop mill) The second computer operates using Windows XP. My issue is the program is approx.1700 lines long. When it loads into Mach 3 only 985 lines will load after that the program starts to duplicate itself by going to line number 979 and working itself back to line 985 and then repeats again.
Has anyone ever experianced this? This is the longest program I've ever created so I never noticed it before. Here is what it looks like:
N1

N985
N979
N980
N981
N982
N983
N984
N985
N979 and so on

are you running a demo of mach 3

No I have a license for it. I thought maybe i didnt load it properly because I bought Mach 3 back in 2006 and have only used it a handful of times. According to the Mach 3 website the demo version will only load 100 lines of code

I think you need to go to the Mach3 site and download and install the latest stable version of Mach3, there have been numerous "bug" fixes since 2006 and your problem may well be one of them.

Latest stable (Lockdown) version is :- Mach3 R3.043.022

Just save out your XML file and Licence file and then just paste them back into the new installation and you will be back to the setup you had before.

I run programs a lot bigger than that every day on Mach3 and I`ve never had your issue.

Ok I loaded the newest version of Mach 3 and everything seems to be fine. I get all 1700 lines of code now. Thanks for the help!
