Hi Dave,
No ideas at the moment but I hope you find something soon.

If you let people know where you are located you get an offer or a lead on a job.

P.S. If you are not all ready part of it, join Linkedin. I am not looking for a job but some of the ones on there have almost tempted me to apply!

Best of luck

You might want to try posting in the DSPMC section where the Vital system guys will see this and jump in.
If I remember I will try this on my machine tonight. I don't use a home  offset so I have never seen this problem.

You are correct in that the Aaxis has to move the difference in the tool lengths, same as the Z would normally do.

I have had to explain to certain people if you can't explain it in a clear and complete sentence, then you will not get what you want.
All the texting and facebooking that people do causes them to forget how to use English.

Could you post the Gcode just to make sure that it is correct?

Hi Russell,
If you let us know where about you are located it is possible that someone close by might be able to give a hand.
If you don't know what you actually have for a machine and controls, post some pictures and maybe we can help you figure it out.

Mike
