    Yes, that is an odd one, although I assume that you usually run slower feeds in steel so it is still up in the air, lets hope it doesn`t happen again!
    only way to check it out fully would be to "step through" your code and check that move to see exactly what is in the code, if the code is the correct arc/line etc then it is at the machine, if it is bad code then it needs adressingt

    thats interesting, ive had BobCAD clip corners and crash right in the animation at my PC, before ive even ouput the code to the controller...
