    Mastercam offset problem

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. When I offset a line in Mastercam, no matter what number I enter it automatically resets back to one inch. This has never happened before untill yesterday. Is this a glitch in the software or is there a setting that somehow got changed, tks.

    What version are you running?so Are you saying that you can rally only move 1" because it will not except an other value? I know for as long back as I can remember with MC it alwas defaults to 1".

    even if you restart MC? are you running Vista by chance?

    Tried restarting Mcam and the computer. Still the same. Not running vista, too many problems.
