I'll wait to hear back from you before I uninstall/install Mach. Thanks, Ron

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing. Did his problem occur suddenly? How can I reach him? Thanks, Ron

I also get this error from your email:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I am just a train wreck today.

Hood, I sent you a copy of my XML file. Here is what is happening:

Change Tool
Manually Set Tool Height
Look at DROs, nothing has changed except the Z axis
Push Cycle Start
Mill takes off in the wrong direction
Hit Stop
DROs read what is in code
Push Go To Zero
Machine is definately not at the original X,Y 0,0 point

??
The DRO now reads  0,0,0

Here we go again! Today I did not use the ATZ feature and manually set the tool height, same @$#% thing, the origin X,Y is reset. I wondered if there is something in the code, I looked at it and I didn't see where the origin was reset. Here is the part of code where the problem occured:

N16840G00X-2.6515Y-0.6475Z0.2500
N16850T201M6
N16860 (Tool: End Mill {0.125 inches})
N16870G43H201
N16880S2500M03
(Profile .125 End Mill)
()
N16910G00X-2.6515Y-0.7100Z0.2500
N16920G1X-2.6515Y-0.7100Z-0.0059F10.0
N16930G1X2.6515Y-0.7100Z-0.0059F40.0
N16940G3X2.7140Y-0.6475I0.0000J0.0625


This not the only place where this problem has occured.

I found that I do not have the latest version, if I install the latest version will it keep all of my current settings or do I have to start over? I am trying a fresh copy of my program today and I will see if I have the same problems as before and if they occur at the same time or step in the program.

Same program running over and over, I'll try recalculating my toolpaths and saving a fresh copy. What is the latest release of Mach 3? Are there any updates that maybe I don't have?
