Are you using Format 1 or Format 2 programming with your Fadal? Did you use H word on the same line as D word to call Offset?

I only have this happen if I restart the program in the middle. I have gotten in the habit of using the D register in the same line as my G41/G42 call. Don't worry that the control isn't reading it, it is. Just won't pop up on the screen. I am using CAM software for most of my programming now so it's really easy to put the D in each comp call.

G41 D2 X1. F27.23

Just FYI, using this method can be dangerous if you do a lot of manual editing. If you add a tool to your program and now D2 is a D3, you have to make sure you replace ALL D2s with D3 using the Search and Replace. You follow what I mean?
