The example help file for the cutter compensation commands G40, G41 and G42 doesn't contain a G40 command. I tried to modify the example programme to suit my own requirements and couldn't work out why I kept getting an error message. Inserting a G40 command cured this.
Also line 0030 appears to be wrong as it doesn't fit the drawing. It should probably be something like N0030Y50.
I think it would assist other customers if the file were corrected in a future software release

Re: Errors in CNC Programming Help File.
Hi,
What size cutter were you using in the project?

Re: Errors in CNC Programming Help File.
I am using a 3mm dia slot drill.
I've attached a copy of the fnc file which causes the error. It's possible to avoid the error by inserting a G40 command.
This is a problem with the Help File, which doesn't state the need for a G40 command, rather than with the software.
I've also noticed.
1. Double clicking the 2D/3D button gives a "catastrophic error" message.
2. If the 'i' (information) button is clicked, it opens an information window, but I can't find any way to close it.

Re: Errors in CNC Programming Help File.
Clicking the info button to close the info works fine if there no error present. However if I try it after the .fnc file (attached to an earlier post) has been run in 2D simulation and returned an error the software locks up and I have to use Task Manager to close it.
