Error message question

Post by acourtjester »

I am getting an error message when I load a G-code into Mach 3 that is bugging the heck out of me. This happens when I run a Plasma mode Mach 3 profile and I load any G-code in it will stop and give then message "Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start" and go no farther in the initial reading of the G-code. If I load another profile it will work just fine. It is not related to the G-code as I have tried many G-codes all work in on profile and none in the other. I am sure it is a setting in Mach.
Help would be appreciated :?
