HUM something fishy.

Go to COnfig / native units / what is selected mm or inch?

Go to COnfig/motor tuning what is the Steps per setting on X axis(lower left side of window?

On the main screen to the right of the DROs is there a yellow led blinking ?

Main screen top right DO you see a G20 in the Modal line or a g21?

No LED flashing

And Yes there is a G20 in the #s  at the to right

Something must have reset when I tuned my computer off.  Your code does now move the machine 10MM:)  But my tool-path is still massive.  Is there anything else it could be?

Do you think its the Code?  I have a mach3 MM post-processor so it seems like the code should be right.  Ive run the code offline and everything seems great, It's just way bigger than its supposed to be.

Yeeeeeehaaaa!! Awesome, it just dawned on me that I forgot to redo my limits after I calibrated, now all is good.  The code wasn't to big, the table was to small.  I'm a total dunce.  Thanks for your help though man.
