    Tool Path Preview

    I am seeing the following Tool Path/Preview. Is this typical? The only thing a-typical about this program is the location of my x/y (center of part versus my typical top left). If Pathpilot sees the white line, why does it cut the red line? (FYI, machine does the proper cut, this is just a preview question).

    It may be due to the A axis not being zeroed

    That is a great point. I will have to look for that in the future. It would be a nice feature to be able to disable the A axis if you don't have one.
