Back in business!!!!  Taking that G43 out of the vectric mach3 post processor header did it.   I actually edited the .pp file to prevent G43 from getting put in ever again.

does vectric call a toolchange at the start of the code, and set an offset. ?

Had to be there somewhere

Well that's just beautiful.  I should have known better.  I purchased a copy thru an ebay auction, heavily discounted.  Of course overseas.  I tried looking up the old auction but being it's too far out the 'View Item' doesn't show.  When I click on the seller name that I think it is, it says Seller no longer listed with ebay.  I'll never be able to dispute it now.

I just purchased mach 3 directly from machsupport web site.  Details below.  Unfortunately I have more $$$ into it now but at least I know it's legit.

Its often the way, lots of people selling them on eBay and the buyer is always the one to get bitten unfortunately.
