    Strange code issue!

    I was just running the following code and had a crash happen. I can't figure out why! It did the first section perfectly then got to the M01 position. After I hit start it moved to the x,y position but also moved in Z down into the part at the same time. Can anyone tell me why this would have happened?

    N100 (Machine Setup - 1 Center Drill)
    (RETURN PINS - 0.3760)

    T5 M06
    S681 M03

    G43 H5 Z1. M08

    OK, I figured it out. The tool change must clear the H value so it thought the tool was at the spindle not the actual length! Remove the M06 T?? and it works fine.

    Hey I have a vm17 and plan to use fusion 360. Do you use fusion 360 with your partner 1?

    Haven't heard of Fusion 360 before. Looks interesting. I use BobCAD, pretty happy with it so far although it's not as nice as MasterCAM that I use at work though!

    I talked to a customer today, he is using Fusion 360 on his Mach 3 control. he seems to like it.
    We have not yet done a Milltronics post from it.

    It seems to hold some promise for "us" smaller guys.

    will it replace a 15K mastercam / surfcam / ???? most likely not, but for "Free" for under $100K users. "whuda got to lose" ?

    Try it and keep " US" informed, changes to the POST??? keep "US" informed.

    for machines without a tool changer try the Fanuc, M6 or M10 Post., LET "US" know.
