    More crop circles, and turning question

    www.my87.com/cnc

    my bobcad file and my nc file.

    I want to use mach3 turn, I can not get the crop circles to go away.

    also, when I do macro program start, it puts in x8 and z8 by default, how do I change that to go to x1 z1 as I have corrected manually in the nc file attached.

    thanks for the help, I'm going nuts!

    Can you post a sample program? I bet it is something that is totally obscure, and only evident in the code.

    It's in the first post of this thread, I listed the text file and the drawing. I have put every crop circle suggestion mentioned on this site, mach3 support, and the bobcadsupport forum into effect. No changes for the better, in fact crop circles got worse.

    I have had to erase all g3 and g2 commands out of the text file. Thattakes a lot of time.

    I can see the code, but I cant get the dwg file. It back plots just fine in Predator and in BobCAD. Is your Mach software set up for I and J values or for Rs?

    Honestly, it has been at least a yeat since I looked at the Mach3 control panel. But there may be some one here who can tell you how to find that out.

    All I could find was swapping IJ Mode, from incremental to absolute, which did nothing for me.
