> This may be part of the problem. For some reason the tool change commands can cause UGS to go a bit odd at times. Unless you have a automatic tool changer there is no need for it. I recommend editing your post processor to not add that command, or manual remove it from your code. I found UGS was a lot more stable after that.

I think a lot of how it behaves depends on what coordinate mode you are in, what offset may be loaded, or left over in memory from a previous carve, etc. Instead, I recommend writing a macro that will return your bit to your preferred start point or bit change point and use that. (something like G1 Z10 Y0 X-10)

Good to know, will do.

nice saw this last night, going to make that change to get rid of the Tool changes.

I also use the easel post processor, which included those tool change codes. I’ll double check that it didn’t somehow use a different post processor, but pretty sure it’s using the easel post processor.
