I have just fired up my new cnc and am using WinCnc as my controller and Bob-Cad as my drawing program. When i try to open my code in WinCnc it says: Error - Multiple Commands.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but I've never used one before so every little hiccup gives me grief. How do I fix this and prevent it from happening again.

Thinking you may have several commands on one line at the start up of your program, I believe it's one command per line in WinCnc, if I recall correctly.
Try that.

I think this part may be the problem could this be?
N01 G00 G90 G80 G49 G20
N02 G91 G28 Z0.
N03 G91 G28 X0. Y0.
N04 M01

I'm not sure but i dont think that there can be more than one G command in one line.

Hi, you can only use one g-code command per line Wincnc.

Good Luck

So how do I fix this?
N01 G00 G90 G80 G49 G20
N02 G91 G28 Z0.
N03 G91 G28 X0. Y0.

BobCad said that i can fill out a post processor form and that it would take about a week. I don't have that kind of time.

Well, quick fix would be to pull the program into text editor, word pad, note pad, MS Word and edit the program so only one command per line.

Think you can also edit it in BobCad in the NC window, just place cursor
after each g-code command and hit carriage return (enter).

Better fix....If I recall correctly BobCad has a provision for you to edit "program start" and "program end" macros in the NC portion of Bobcad and save those so your program start and end would have only one command per line, thus when generating future programs they would start and end correctly.

If you need help with that you might try posting in the BobCad forums explaining what you would like to do, and I'm sure someone would help you fix your Program Start and Program end. Or contact BobCad. I'm not the world's foremost expert on BobCad, but I think this is fairly easy fix.

I would check the end of your program also, it might have multiple commands
per line, check before running.

Are you having any luck?
