Machs axis are X Y Z A B C you seem to have U and V in that code. Maybe your CAM has a post processor for Mach or similar?

You can command moves in the MDI line and Teach will record them and make into a gcode file so you can run again without having to enter all the lines manually into MDI again.

Unless your code is correct for Mach it wont run properly I am afraid, you really need to see if you can get a post processor for your CAM to output in X Y Z etc. Failing that you could likely edit manually by using find and replace in notepad
