When ever i start mach3 and post the code below it looks great, however when I start Mach3 in Sherline (metric) mode it looks like the attached image.

does anyone know why?

Thanks,

Andy

This might not be the right answer - BUT - on G3 and G4, I thought I and K were offsets from where you were - therefore they will be a different position on every cut, because in your program they are all the same offset. They are not, as far as I know, the centre of rotation, which is what you seem to have programed them as.

I don't know, because I always use the "R" parameter with G3 and G4.

Hi, 


Thanks for the reply.

Here is some of a similar code using 'R'

As you can see it is till doing the same thing with Sherline mode...grrr

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Andy

tef9,
have a look at your configuration >ports pins>turn options
does one have "reversed arcs infront post" checked?

also where is the code genrated from?
rich

Rich,

You are a genius,  the code is generated by an old copy of oneCNC.

However it has worked.  What does that "reversed arcs in front post" checkbox do?

Thank you,

Andy
