    Mach3 puzzle???

    I wonder if someone could help me with a puzzle I have. I have created a memo board in ArtCam, saved the tool-paths to Gcode, then loaded it into Mach3 with a config file for a Chinese 6040 cnc but get the following error message:-
    Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start, Block = G2 X0.5402 Y17.51965 I4.0099 J-0.2208
    Now here is what I consider to be the puzzle. If I load the exact same file into Mach3 using a config file for a Chinese 3020 I don’t receive an error message and do a dummy run without any machine connected it completes a full fault free cycle.
    When I compare like, for like, I perform the tests without a machine connected. The fault still appears when a Chinese 6040 is connected. The fault does not appear when a Chinese 3020 is connected (but it is too small to run the project without damage), does anyone have any ideas.
    Best regards.

    Hi Gerry, I went to the General Config but I have no idea what I'm looking for, I can't seem to find what you are telling me about. Sorry but could you explain more to me.

    Best regards,

    Joe

    WOW Gerry, thank you very much, I completely missed it when I looked, but to be honest I had no idea about that in any event. You are an absolute star, I just hope that I can play a small part in being as helpful on this forum.

    Best regards,

    Joe
