NEED HELP! CNC Software Problem

[Raymundo N]

Hello everyone,

I am a student at Carl Hayden High School and i am part of the robotics team. We recently bought a new CNC tabletop mill
(Here is the link to the exact mill we have: http://www.cncmasters.com/product/cn...ble-top-mill/).

We got it all set up and we got the MasterMX software working. We also got a free CAM software from SolidCAM, which was compatible with SolidWorks, so we started doing some tutorials and then we wanted to machine the actual part.
(Here is the tutorial of the part i tried to machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y1X...q9c b6HO-J8EA)

I modified the piece and changed the units from metric to standard(inches). Then i followed the steps to make my cam software. At the end i generated the code, copied it and pasted it into the MasterMX software, then i clicked the DRAW button to see a visual of what the machine was going to follow, and that is when a weird thing happened. On the CAM software the simulation worked perfectly, but on the MasterMX software it was different. Instead of starting the "contour cut" outside and making a straight line it would make a diagonal line to a different point and then kept going and finished the shape in the correct way.
If you are confused about what i am talking about, i have some pictures:

The first picture shows what i want to make (This is in SolidWorks).
and
The second picture shows what it looked like in the MasterMX software.

The program starts at the right place, but it doesn't follow a straight path to go to the right place to make the round cut. Instead it looks as if it skipped the curve completely and started working at the end of the curve. Any idea why??




Also you may notice that the corner holes are not drawn on the second picture. That is because every time i added the code for the holes it would crash the MasterMX program completely.

The last image shows the code that made the program crash on the left side.


Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
