I did that and no preview availabl, still get "bad number format" error. I have axis 2.2.8 on 8.04 LTS. latest updates to say 30 minutes ago. when I start axis and invoke open file dialogue I see all my ngc files w/o changing a directory, so the "PROGRAM_PREFIX" is set correct. the path to it has blanks in it. Could it be that this is the error? So I cpd all files in a directory that has no blanks in its name, set "PROGRAM_PREFIX" to this new path and loaded my maste ngc again. now it says "near line 6 in master.ngc: wrong number format". Looks like axis has a problem of some kind with such symlinks / and or path names, but that is a different thing and I do not want to follow this here. rhino cam has been uesd to generate my cnc code in the sub files. So I thought it could be a dos2unix issue, so I ran "dos2unix *" and still get the same error. I check: - all files in same directory as stated in "PROGRAM_PREFIX" : OK - "PROGRAM_PREFIX" has no blanks? OK - dos2unix all files OK - M30 removed in all files OK What could it be this time? best rgeards chris > > regards, Jan > > > > On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 12:54, Chris Epicier <seuch...@yahoo.de> > wrote: > > Hi all > > > > I am in the process of cutting parts, due out soon. > Should be doing million things, other than keepin my cnc > busy. > > > > I checked and rechecked the syntax in bot, master, > labels and other files.
