    toolpath generation, Zeroing DRO's, go to Zero Button

    1.When I load a g-code file, Mach3 will arbitrarily not generate a toolpath. I have to reload Mach3 several times, and eventually it will generate a toolpath.
    2.I was under the impression that you can jog over to a spot on the table and zero the work coordinates. If thats the case then my zero buttons are not working. ?? I use "Big Tex blue screen" and the laser zero button works.
    3.If I hit the "goto z" button (in work coordinate), the X-Y axis start moving and will drag the z thus causing a crash.
    I am a newb, and I've printed out the Mach3 manual and have tried to read it cover to cover (yawn,yawn), and I can't find the answer.
    So, just tell what information would be helpful to solve these problems and I will gladly provide them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I fixed number three. I raised the safeZ to .5 instead of 0
    the zero buttons are working now???
    and I loaded all the files today without a hitch.
