    Ghost g code

    Last week in Mach 3, I loaded and ran a g-code file cutting a circle in some acrylic. Now no matter what g-code file I load in Mach 3, that circle shows up in my display window. How do I get rid of this ghost? In simulation it seems to be part of the tool path even though it isn't actually in the G-code I currently have loaded.

    Try changing your IJ mode in Mach3 General Config.

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for the tip. It worked. I don't have a clue what it did, but It worked and I'm back up and running.

    Thanks again,

    Scott
