We found the MMG. ext we now can bring a file into ncstudio..That's good..Here are some questions: We can't get the tool to come down far enough in "Z" to touch the material to cut.an error of machine limit in the Z.The tool is an inch off the material..2nd: When we bring a 10" round part into ncstudio from artcam, we do a dry run and the size is 5 times too large..?? 3rd: can ncstudio be in inches instead of MM? Does artcam nest the parts and we bring in the whole nest into ncstudio? 4th:Are there any setup for tolerances for play in the servo motors.. They feel loose...

NcStudio as well as artcam do have a feature called machine Safe Z. This distance will always be added to the workpiece zero position. But as soon as toolpath starts the machine will progress to the real workpiece coordinates.

Its the pulse rate in ncstudio, had a similar problem.
Go to I/O tab and click 'manufacture', password = ncstudio.
Divide the pulse rates by 5 for all axis affected and use that setting.
