    When I bring a G-Code into the mach 3, only about a third of it shows up on the screen. It shows in the box all the g-codes. It will only cut whats in the picture. Help, I've spent to many hours trying to fix this.

    Can you post the G-Code, and the SU file? (or screen shots) Without seeing it it sounds like some of the drawing is out of the safe area.

    That might take me awhile. I'll give you an example, when I bring up the roadrunner Mark has made and sent as a g-code, I get one roadrunner and there should be two small and one big one. The g-codes say there are 4470 of them but the picture is only showing about 506. Its all in the safe area, which is the 42 x 22 area

    Ahhhh Sounds like you are running Mach3 in demo mode (limited to about 500 lines of code). You will need to apply the license key if you purchased.

    Thank you, that is it. I've had to reload everything and forgot that. Can't find it so guess I'll try to get hold of Mark.
