No Problem on my part. I should have read that section better. I downloaded 2.52. Initial testing shows the problem to be gone.

I went back to version 2.065 and the problem went away.
Vmax twice you suggested upgrading to version 2.50. Were do I get version 2.50? Is it a future release?

Sid, The problem is happening even when I run the same part over and over with no offset change. I checked the safe Z settings. I was able to make it better by setting it to incremental rise. Now it only changes things the first time I hit the rewind button. After that it seems to be all right. I was playing with the settings with the mill offline. I will try it with the mill running in a day or 2.
Thanks all for or help

Were do I get 2.50? The 2.48 is the highest I see on the download page.

When I start a part I mount my fixture or plate. I than than set my zeros for x,y,z. I am not running any macros. At the end of the part I press the go to Z button. In 2.42 the Z location for a axis might change and the numbers were random. Now in 2.48 only the Z axis is changing. The distance is not always the same.
This issue is on old files that I have run for years and new ones that I just created yesterday.
I am going to trash the Mach 3 file today and start from scratch with setting up my mill. I always uninstall my old version of Mach before I install the new one. That does not remove all of the preference files and maybe one of them went bad.

This problem started for me when I upgraded to version 2.42 and is still in 2.48. The best I can figure out is that Mach is inserting an offset, but I can't figure out were it is getting the numbers.
