    Question Current point same as end point of arc.

    Hello every one,

    I have a 5axismaker machine (5axismaker 5 axis CNC Mill & 3D Printer) which I use with Fusion 360 (and the post processor 5AXISMAKER) and Mach3. I made a simple model (a cube with some inscriptions) and for the tool path, I used "2D pocket". But When I try to load the G-code in Mach3, this message appear: Current point same as end point of arc. Block=X11.235 Y72.294 Z-93.669 R1.425

    I understand what is wrong, but I don’t know how to fix it knowing I shouldn’t have to change the G-code (Fusion 360 is supposed to generate it for me). Is that a problem with Mach3 ? Do I have to modify some line in the G-code ?

    here is the g-code and the problematic line according to Mach3 (between ***):

    If you have any advice for me, I will take it with pleasure,
    And by the way, do you know if there is a limit of line for the G-code that Mach3 can accept ?

    cheers,

    I don't get that error when I run the code.

    I think it's 500 lines in demo mode. Either 250 or 500, I don't remember

    Re: Current point same as end point of arc.

    Below the license information from Mach3
    Without a license, Mach3 will operate in Demo mode. While in Demo mode, the software has the following limitations:
    • Mill & Plasma: 500 line gcode limit (10,000,000 limit after licensing)
    • Turn: 50 line gcode limit (10,000,000 limit after licensing)
    • Kernel Frequency locked at 25kHz (only applicable if using the parallel port driver)
    • Set Next Line function disabled
    • Run From Here function disabled
    • Turn: Threading disabled
    • Plasma: THC functions disabled
