error codes in Mach3

Post by stainless steel »

Trying to use Sheetcam for first time . Usually use nestmaster 2012 then into Mach 3 to cut .Quick and easy.Basic shapes.
Drawing made in Corel5 sent to Sheetcam ,saved and generated code? Then exported to Mach3.
Won,t cut no drawing shows up , codes all start with N000 . Have I not generated a G code ?
Maybe I didn't create a good torch tool ? Sorry guys , I know this is basic stuff. Hats off to you guys that can do this stuff in your sleep .I have been struggling for years . Get pissed off and go over to the Ironworker and shear it ,then punch the holes .At least the job gets done .

The only thing that comes to mind would be are you using the right post processor?

Hi
The N000 is a line number means nothing the actual G-code is after the N000.
If you add lines you do not need to put in the line numbers. :)
you can use notepad to change the gcode.
