Hi Brett,
Just spoke to dolphin and they have a post process for incremental, absolute, and 4th axis. so going to try and get hold of these. I tried looking at the post process file as another thing Dolphin does is put G00 and G28 on the same line and mach reports it does not allow this. I was a bit bemused by the content and drew the conclusion it was abit beond  my knowledge AT THIS TIME.  Bob.

Hi Brett you cracked it just changed the Ij from incremental to absolute, Now the mach files are right and the micromill is wrong (huge circles) but can you tell me why its right so I can get it in my mind for the futre. Thanks bob.

No I am Using Dolphin Partmaster sorry for typing error, Hear is the code just a simple square drawn in dolphin with a lead in/out the lead in is wrong and the corners of the square are deffo wrong. But like I daid if I change the post process to mincromill (which works on a taig mill) everything is fine? I have sent my files to dolphin and I hope they will be so kind as to reply as promptly as the folk on this bboard.. Thanks for help.
