As title says, when i load my tap file into mach to cut, the display window shows just a big circle. I have tried to mess with the ij mode but then it gives me an error. I have the scale to 1 and i have checked everything else that i know. I have done other jobs on this machine with an engraving software and no issues so i know its not the machine. If anyone could look over the code and see what is the problem i would appreciate! Thanks!

I have attached the tap and dxf file. LMK!

Delete any M30's in the code except for the last line. Your code is stopping at the first M30 it sees and is going back to the beginning.

Ok i did that but does that explain why it will not cut the part and only one large circle?

Anyone? Help please!

As I said, removing the M30's allows the entire g-code program to run. I'm guessing the issue is how your creating your g-code, as it apparently doesn't contain your entire part? The attached image shows everything that's in your g-code file.

Its supposed to be a sheet of various parts for a 3d jeep. The file looks like that because i had to split up the files because of sheetcam having a 180line limit on the trial version. I was able to do one process per save and just copied the code into one file.

I have no idea why the drawing looks like that, here is what it is supposed to look like:

Your g-code does not contain all those parts. Your issue is with SheetCAM, not Mach3. Based on the g-code you posted, you're going to need to split that up into a lot more than 3 files. Not sure what you created the .dxf with, but each group of 4 circles contains 200 entities, rather than 4 circles. The entire .dxf contains 5390 entities, which would probably equate to about 5500 lines of g-code.

The reason you had the original issue is that you're joining multiple files together, and each file ended with an M30.
