No, I was talking about two separate things. The first, which was the code I
sent you was produced by making a .dxf drawing in Rhino Cad and then passing
this through Flashcut to create the g-code. The drawing was of a circular
plate with three recesses in its top surface which intersected and were of
different depths as I wanted to see how cnc would handle such a job. This
caused the runaway and, in Backplot and subsequently in EMC, the only way I
could stop the thing was by exiting the program.
I also ran the same file through BobCad and Gcode95 to produce g-code files
from different sources in case the problem was with Flashcut but both these
gave the same, or very similar, error.
Completely separately, I produced a g-code file of a couple of lines of text
in MillWrite and tried to run this in Backplot. It simulated cutting the
first three letters and then again headed for the hills at high speed. I
haven't looked at the code for this very closely but, for completeness, I've
appended it to this email. Oh, and I had to take out the first line as
Backplot complained. Perhaps someone else would like to test it out - but
not on a real machine!!
