Program won't run

[tas99]

Another problem in getting my DIY plasma cutter working.

I created a simple test program (2 circles) in an evaluation copy of Sheet-cam and when I try to load it in my licensed copy of Mach 3 I get a message saying Generating Tool Path and that's as far as it ever gets.

I've listed the program below and any help would be appreciated.

There is a limit to the number of lines that Sheetcam will generate with the non licensed version about 250 if you go over that you will get a message. This G-code does work I use the house PC no table attached, but you speed is so slow it appears not to move. Edit the G-code on line N0160 so the F is about 60 not 3.937 and it should look better. Mach only changes speed with a new command for a speed change so only one speed setting in your G-code affects the whole G-code. You may have a slower Z and then faster X & Y for cutting.

My problem is the program won't load.

I've attached a screen shot of what I mean. The Generating Path is all I get and it never goes beyond that point. A tool path is never rendered on the display.

Hopefully someone has an idea on what this might be.
