I build a vecter in vcarve pro and save the g code onto thumb drive and load into masso. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be correct. Looks like chinese symbols not alpha numeric. What am i doing wrong? ---

Have tried opening in the g code in a text editor and do you see a long string of x, y and z references with numbers. If not then you have not created a g code file. In which case, and it does happen, are you trying to load the vcarve file after changing the file type from crv to nc? ---

Hey Rich, in your CAM software, you got to use the → [post processor](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/what-is-a-post-processor-what-does-it-do-and-why-do-i-need-one-specificly-for-my-onefinity/8709) for the Onefinity CNC machine to export the g-code toolpath. This is the way you create a g-code file that can be used by the Onefinity CNC machine. ---

Andy, i opened in text editor and seems fine. Not sure if im using the correct post proccessor. Currently set as onefinity Masso inch with machine set as onefinity elite journeymen. ---

I use the mm post processor but should make no odds. You could posting your issue in the Masso forum and see what they suggest. ---

That’s pretty miserable. Can vreate the NC file for a simple pocket and share the file. We can have a look at it and it might throw up a few ideas. We need to get you cutting ---

Here is a pocket file. machine was Elite Journeyman and the post processor was onefinity masso inch [Pocket\_1-Pocket 2.nc](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/uploads/short-url/5AXejmxumxE9JrjJ5cwV6MipNoj.nc) (4.3 KB) ---

Well this is spooky. I looked at your file; looks sound. I created a similar file and compared the two (within reason) - looks sound. I run in metric so I changed your G20 to G21 and loaded on my Masso - no problems. I do not know what your issue is. Bigger brains are required. I have attached images. (Ignore the tool, that’s what I have loaded) ![20240928_171609](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/6/9/69202c575221ac7092c0e2e31ab1ccfaf42764a9.jpeg) ![20240928_171437](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/5/a/5a1d3d16d34a8b606b364eb93ab900f5aac2e1fb.jpeg) ---

Thank you for your attemps to help me. Im now working through masso support and have the same results. My guess is that my masso itself has an issue. ---

By any chance is your USB drive not formated correctly? Should be 32GB or less, formated with FAT32 using MBR…just a thought ---

Yes the thumb drive is formatted for 32 GB and Fat 32. BTW sample files were sent off the usb drive and they worked at you site with no issues. ---

By chance did you update Vcarve to the latest patch (12.010)? I was doing fine until I updated Vcarve last week and now my Masso doesn’t recognize any of the new files. Masso recognizes older files, just not the new ones saved under the new Vcarve patch.
