Bobcad/Mach3 Issues

Post by snowman70 »

I am new to this and I am having a difficult time converting dxf files to Gcode in Bobcad. I've tried several files and it seems like I can never get the full toolpath. Most of the files I've tried are fairly simple and appear to be clean. After I've gone through the feature profile and selected the geometry to apply to the toolpath and cumpute the toolpath, only parts of it are assigned the toolpath.

I'm also having trouble with Mach 3 giving a "radius to end of arc differs from radius to start line ###". Other people have had problems with this and it was fixed by setting their IJ setting to incremental. Mine is already set to incremental and I still get this error. I realize it could be in the drawing but this has happened in several of the drawings I've tried.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
