Understood, thank you. I'll report back when I get chance to test it. Mid run on some single sided plates at the moment.

I think I am following. Make a part with a single through bore. Run an op using the bore as zero. Run a 2nd Op that would normally be a flip Op also using the same bore as zero, but don't flip. Make sure they line up. Then flip the part, zero to the bore and run the side 2 Op again. Is it still line...

No, didn't think it was a bug, just wondered if there was a setting or a parameter I should/could check. I know it's a long shot as the machine shouldn't be able to know if I am flipping a part but am running out of ideas on what to check/fix/try next. I know it's going to turn out to be something s...

So ditch the probe and go back to my fixture board model and reference of it instead again? I saw the same issue with that setup, that's why I went to the probe? I would reference to a hole in the board and locate the stock with dowel pins.

Thx Uwe. Yeah, that was a thought, that's why I moved to using the bore to set zero. Center of bore = Single/same point for both sides but reversed axis orientation to account for the flip. Even if its slightly off due to probing errors, it's not enough to account for the (Consistent) deviation I'm ...

Yes, I am probing the bore center. I have done multiple checks of the probe and compared and its typically within 0.0xmm or so. I use the same UP Collet and Probe position to keep it as close to the same as the calibration setup as I can. I have also re-calibrated it recently. I also changed the tip...

Thx Tom. I am using a bore (first Op) to set WCS with a (Calibrated by Swissi's App) probe. All follow-on Ops before and after the flip use the bore and still have the issue so removed stock is out. I have used a fixed location reference and a probed edge/corner reference previously, all on differen...

Hi, I have an odd situation where when I run 2 sided Ops, I am getting a misalignment between the 2 sides of about 1mm in both the X and Y. Long story short, I am going through all the mechanical checks, to make sure it's not a machine problem (nothing so far) and I am reviewing my CAM process to ma...

Change the approach to how it plots or offer an alternative. I use the graph view to see progress of the Op. The plot (white dot) will change with tool size, but on smaller tools it's almost impossible to see and on larger ones it just obscures everything. Change this to (or offer) a fixed size that...

The ability to set a default for either graph on or graph off somewhere? And this is probably pushing it, but the ability to view the graph in 3d while cutting? I know you can do it before, but not seen a way to do it while cutting. On multi-level toolpaths, this would be really useful. The ability ...
