    why does mach3 alter my gcode?

    my code comes up fine on my cam preview and other mach driven mill.
    the mill i want to use comes up with its own version of my gcode!!!!!
    what makes it do this???????????????????????????????????

    this code is off the same thumb drive
    what it is supposed to look like.


    and this is the super magic mach3 version it thinks i cant live without!

    It tells Mach3 where the center of your arcs are. Go to General Config and change it. There are two modes, Absolute and Incremental. Change it to the other one.
