Ron,
The attached .JOB file shows two operations. I am doing a .625 hole on the top and bottom faces of a 1" sq tube using a line of holes using the circle function. The first hole operation has Ztop of 0, Zdepth of -0.130. The second operation is supposed to have Ztop of -0.875 and a Zdepth of -1.100. The operations list seem fine, but the GCode is not working. Ztop on the second cut is still 0.0 instead of what I specified.
