General Mach Discussion / Re: Skipped Parts

Hello Graham. Thanks for replying,
I know I use a lot of G40's were the are not necessary. That's because I make use of a general purpose library, and you never know what happens around those subs in the different part programs. So I always leave every sub with a G40 and a G90 to be sure that nothing is left behind.
In an attempt to understand what was happening, I also made a version without G90/G91 changes in the subs. This did not solve the problem.
Personally I think that there are still a couple of bugs in the way Mach3 deals with subs. I know of at least one, and that is the toolcompensation within subs. This does not work.
