I'm not sure but aren't you using the mil tool change syntax (M6 T1) instead of the lathe syntax (M6 T01xx)? That may be causing a transverse to 0,0.
Worked fine up to now (sort of ;)
There doesn't appear to be a standard "lathe syntax"
Fanuc 6TM is
T00<TOOL>00
Fanuc 20TAM & 21ITM is
T<TOOL><OFFSET#>
Okuma OSP5000
<TURRET>T{<COMP-NUM>}<TOOL><OFFSET#>{<TRT-TURN>
etc, etc.
It only does it at the start of a file, not on subsequent tool
changes, Art has pointed out that offsets are screwed, something else
I noticed is that tool offsets are being included on the display
screen so the part looks nothing like it's supposed to.
Tool offsets are now saved for lathe & mill separately though ;)
Hard to tell what else needs sorting until spindle will run from
Gcode.
