I knew I was forgetting something. I think with the demo you can only send signals at 25KHz. 45KHz with a licenses.

Hello Dan,
    Please forgive me once again, I just want to make sure myself and others understand the question.
1. You go to the Offsets page and set up tools and materials.
2. You go to Program Run page, edit gcode and manually type in your gcode.
3. You want to save all of this in one file?
I can think of a couple of ways to cut down on confusion and speed up your setup time. (I think)

Thanks Benny,
    I had forgotten about that. I saw your simulator a few weeks ago and sent a link to my friend who has a router. Good job.

Hey Dan,

I like the suggestion about the cuts forum.

I have not got to play with any of the spindle stuff yet. I just took a couple of screen shoots of things that look like they could cause trouble. I hope these help.

Thanks Art,
    I just thought if a few people would try it we may find something in my setup and not a bug. I thought it may have something to do with the allow safe Z moves as I did not have that on the version I was running prior. I Disabled it, no Cigar, same thing.

I also tried this, place in feedhold, then single block. It gives me a prep. move warning later if I feedhold first. Another thing, when it blends a z and x or y move, rewind program. and start over. It goes home, then to third line, G0X-4.3766Y-3.6287Z0.0750 (first move) back home again, third line again and then starts to run.

Can anyone run this code and confirm? See any problems?
I just downloaded the latest version(2.0.020). There is a problem with single block. If I turn on single block while in the process of a z- move it skips the next z+ then it tries to do the next x or y and the +z that it skipped together. This is in exact stop or cv mode. Here is the code I was running when it did it. I think I found another bug also. When you place in feedhold while doing an -X and/or -Y move, hit start after it stops, now the -X and/or-Y move feeds at next z rate. Feed hold affects a -X and/or -Y moves, not +. Single block effects -Z moves, not +.
