Kinda new to the cnc thing. I've been drawing with bobcad and trying to post my program. When i trying copying from usb it says file beginning/end marker missing. I can and have run a few programs from the usb itself. So im confused why i can not copy to machine. I stinks running from usb no editing allowed from there plus you have to begin program from the start everytime.

Thanks,
Henry

the beginning/end marker is a % sign

there must be a % at the beginning, on a line by itself, with nothing preceeding it, followed by the Oxxxxx program number on the next line.

at the end, put % on a line by itself with nothing else after it

Also, you can not have a line number on the program name line. That screwed me up for quite some time!
