    Hello again,

    I pressed Pause while milling and after i resumed the spindle moved the cut 0.5cm to the left and continued the cut. is this a software error?

    i attached an image to see.

    thank you in advance.

    Is it replicable? Probably hard to tell anything definitive without seeing the g-code around where it happened and a serial log of the period around the pause event.

    I pause quite often, so shouldn't be. But yeah, try replicating, get the exact pattern of events that causes a mishap

    ok i will try that and write here again.

    i have another problem tell me peter if i have to make a new thread to help others as well.

    The problem: in the same cut as before, when the spindle "dives" for the fist pass it is drilling off the designed area, creating like a tear.
    i will attach a photo.

    thank you again!

    Also need the gcode. Always include the gcode files for analysis

    Replicate = reliably reproduce the same error (in case it was a once off mishap instead)

    Ok Peter. I will do that and post back.
    thank you again!

    another question... :D

    is it possible to turn on off the live position of the spindle? because after one update it doesnt show up.

    Troubleshooting tab > Application Diagnostics > Disable 3D Viewer Realtime Job Position Indicator should be what you are looking for
