Ok thanks but I don’t think it’s the dialog messing up my position’s when I first run the job and the axis’s go off tract to the wrong start position..

I don’t have any dialogs in the profile I am using on the mill to do cutting, only on my other computer for testing

?

Sorry for all the trouble

But didn’t want you to look at the dialog for the machine start positioning I seem to be having

Gary,

After testing it can not be done! We need to do the semaphore :( I can show you how t make your dialog work. We can add a spin lock to wait for the dialog to say that it has shutdown .. If you want send me your screen and I will show you how to make it happen .

?

Thanks

Brian

Ok thanks, but this problem with the toolpath being off center, has become a real problem for me..

?

I just ram a job this morning.. I started by probing to find the center of part, when centered I zeroed the X and Y

Then loaded the tool and probed the tool Hight so that was set, then loaded the g code file.

Checked the X and Y they were at zero the z was at the correct height.

Started to run the job the X and Y went no where near the correct position and the z dove into the part… wrecked part now

?

So I flipped over and did the same thing exactly and it cut prefect . .

?

I have had this happen before when I run the part the first time if I re zero center everything and try again it runs fine..

?

I have tried this on 3 different computers also

?

Any suggestions,

?

All new to me.. Lets get what we can for data and see what we can find. I think that is the best thing to do.

Thanks

Ok Thanks Brian

I have run into another problem, not sure what the cause..

when i load the gcode file it never shows the machining to start in the parts center in the tool path display... form a couple of my profiles, if i start a run and then stop re zero the dro's and regen the tool path its now starting in the middle.. in the tool path display..

but i do have a couple profiles that don't have that problem i don't see any setting's that are different.
Do the profiles go bad? or get some sort of glitch, don't see any difference other than the way the tool path starts when the gcode is first loaded and its way off center position
