    Mastercam X7 not working with wincnc

    I'm pretty new at this and am a bit over my head.

    I'm trying to get mastercam to work with wincnc but it just isn't happening. I keep getting "arc radius" errors so I think it has something to do with g90 and g91.

    I downloaded the mastercam post from the wincnc website and it isn't working. Anyone have any ideas of what to do?

    Here is the offending code

    G20
    G90
    G40
    G80
    G49
    G0
    M03

    check to make certain that both master cam post and wincnc are set for the same arc protocol, if they don't match up you can get some pretty weird results.
