    Step setting changing on its own??

    I am not sure if it is me touching the "Step" button on accident and not noticing it on the jog shuttle or if PathPilot is changing it on me, but after one bit, one probe tip and a couple unexpected moves I am beginning to wonder. I usually always use the step in the .0001 increment but a few times when I went to step close to a part it was somehow in the .1 increment which I only noticed after the fact. I even had been using it to shave .005-007 (5 to 8 revolutions in the .0001 step mode) off a part multiple times did a z move to check the part moved back and the next step was .1??? It happened 4-5 times throughout a 5 hour session of conversational and manual part making. Will keep an eye on it and let you know if I figure it out otherwise if you have noticed or figured it out or have the same problem feel free to chime in!!

    Installing the 1.6 update today maybe it has been taken care of?

    I had the same problem, turned out that I was hitting the step button inadvertently, since I have been watching that I havent had any unexpected changes.....
