    Only getting 48 lines of code?

    I have the Mach3 free download. I have drawn a design in cambam and when I transfer it over to mach3, I am only getting 48 lines of code. I think I should have around 300 lines if the project is done. anyone have some ideas of pointers?

    Is there an error message displayed? Mach3 will run 500 lines of code, then just stop if there is more. If there's no error, can you post the code?
