General Mach Discussion / Re: mach 3 keeps setting itself to incremental in the distance mode

it looks like a Bobcad V 22 issue, the software is full of bugs. You can't set the post processor out of the box and it takes a couple of hours of tech support just fix the corrupted file causing the problem.
What it's doing now is putting out bad code 2 out of 5 times which forces you to start over again on a project. Then if you can get it to work and actually generate what looks like accurate machine code you find out quickly that it is mixing incremental with absolute which apparently is creating irregular cuts and repeated "abnormal condition" error messages and causing Mach 3 to reset it self to match the code when it finds a G91 which is aways there now matter what you set it for.
