    I am no specilist but i talked to a machinist and he said that the compiler program that comes with the program may not be the best, he told me about all the compilers programs out of the box has problems, maybe that might help not sure but if you can find some one that understands G-codes maybe they can help right another compiler program that will help read the program better. hoped this is some help. tim clay
