Hello Everyone, I looked through the forums and instructions multiple times and I must be missing the answer.Thank you for your patience. I am a Mac user and have finished building our new X-carve 1000mm. The build went smoothly until I clicked on “set motor current”. Now I feel like I am in over my head. I was able to follow along until I got to "_Then issue a very long Gcode command for that axis, something like g0x1000._\*\* How/where do I issue Gcode on a Mac??? Thank you very much for your help Greg ---

Greg, are you using Easel, Chilipepper, or UGS? You will need one of these on your Mac before you can issue a Gcode command. If you are using Easel, you will need to request the ability to send Gcode, since it is in beta testing. Here is the link. > [@\[NOW LIVE\] \[new feature\] G-code sending through easel](https://community.inventables.com/t/new-feature-g-code-sending-through-easel/17483): > > Continuing the discussion from [[request for feedback] Gcode sending through easel](https://community.inventables.com/t/request-for-feedback-gcode-sending-through-easel/10505): Good news everyone! We’ve released a new feature in Easel that allows you to import, validate and visualize g-code generated by other programs, and send it to your X-Carve or Carvey. Currently we support g-code from Fusion 360, MeshCAM, and Vectric products (including V-carve, Cut2D, and Aspire). The post-processors will all be available on the “Import g-code” file menu item. If you do not use one of those produ… ---

You can send single-line commands to the X-Carve from Easel without the gcode import beta access. Just go to `Machine --> Advanced --> Machine Inspector` and you’ll see a dialog box that says “Console” In that box you can enter single line commands like the one you need. ---
