    When I generate the Gcode in a new drawing, I get the error "number expected on line 1".
    Gplot will not show the drawing, but Mach3 takes it ok. Any idea what I did to break the drawing? It was working until recently.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You probably changed your regional settings in Windows and your Gcode now has a comma , instead of a point . in the numbers.
    OR
    You have turned on the option to output G91.1 which the Gplot .exe you have does not understand. There is an unreleased new version which does understand this code (and has some other new things) which I will send to you just now.

    Hello, any success with the newer unreleased code? I've always found that error annoying, would be pretty cool if a solution existed. Any chance I could give it a try swarfer?
