Can you upload your file (.CRV or .CRV3D) to the forum?

Here is a link describing how to upload your file. (How do I upload files or photos to the forum?)

If the file is too large to upload here you can use a file sharing site such as drive.google.com, onedrive.com, or dropbox.com. (They all have free accounts available)
  • Upload the file to the file sharing site
  • Make the link shareable
  • Share the link to the file here


If you want to include screenshots use the Windows Snipping tool for screen shots. These images are easier to read and smaller than images taken with your phone.

Are you programming in metric.

Being located in Kentucky, I would think you would be programming imperial (inches).

A search on that error message here returns a fair few hits. Two that might be of use:

Sorry took a while
Tornado hit us hard in Bowlingreen Ky.

"Anyway check the Config screen (Main menu > Config > General Config) in Mach3 and set the IJ mode from Absolute to Incremental. "

This fixed the problem, Maggi

What post processor are you using? The absolute/incremental setting used to be a problem years ago but the post processor was changed to set that automatically.
