    BOBCAD 26 problem with offsets.

    Loaded my New version of BOBCAD 26 today. setup a simple part. The drill tap portion is good to go.
    when it comes to milling it thinks the part is about 12 inches up from where it shoud be.

    I am using the same post that I was using in 25 "Haas _backplot_OEM"

    Your going to have to post a bbcd file (zip it) so we can see whats up in the file.

    I have a feeling its the same setting that gave my post trouble. If you go to the Cam tree and pull up your current machine definition settings, look for the highlighted area and check that you are set as I've put mine. The default seems to cause the system to do a tool length compensation on the toolpath instead of letting the machine do so. May not be your problem, but worth checking as it sounds like a similar issue to what I was getting (though 12" is a lot of tool compensation).

    Zip and post the BBCD file, not the posted program. You can post the BBCD file directly, but you can if you Zip it.
