Recently we have had a problem with line numbers in our programs.

I use line numbering in our post (Bobcad V25) so the file has line numbers to start, and they are fine.

After upload the program in the machine had a section that went N31, N32, then N31, N32 again. So the machine gets stuck in a loop there. Here is the raw code

N30 G0 Z.1
(JOB 2 HOLE RANDOM POINT PATTERN)
(FEATURE DRILL HOLE - 0.2500)
N31 G90 E4 X6.7276 Y-3.0164 S1191
N32 G81 G98 X6.7276 Y-3.0164 Z-.125 R0+.1 F1.6685

I used the number funtion on the machine and it cleared it up. This is the second time this has happened recently, and it started after I upgraded to the new version of Bobcad, never had the problem before. I'm not blaming Bobcad as I don't see what could be causing it looking at the raw file.

It took us a while to figure out what was going on!!

Any ideas?

Can you omit line #'s in BobCad? The 88HS Fadal controller will put in it's own line numbers when a file is imported in.

You can remove all line numbers in the Predator Editor before sending them to the Fadal . . .
