    Why does openbuilds control freeze everytime I load a job, Every single time, Doesnt matter the size of the file, As soon as I hit load job, It freezes, Ive turned off and on all the 3d viewer options etc.., Nothing fixes it, Any suggestions?

    Your post processor is a little outdated (should be on v1.42) but should load as gcode.

    So next question tried a different PC yet?

    I have not, but thats a pretty capable laptop, I run fusion 360 pretty well on it, Ive been using cnccomander as control software and it works fine, loads up gcode instantly, I just like openbuilds better if i can get it working

    Well please do, just a comparison test to see - should work.

    Your CONTROL is up to date right (v1. 0.388)

    Peter, I'm no g-code expert, but why does the tool dive down right at the start?

    I'm not sure if the gcode is showing that, but that does not occur in reality, I've ran this particular code numerous times, tool goes up and moves to first operatiin position

    Regardless, please do the test, so we eliminate other non-PC causes from the test. If it also fails on the other one --- then its NOT that laptop :) but until you test, we wouldnt know :)

    I mean, it loads fine here, so the gcode is OK, so we gotta push onto next thing (and if that doesnt reveal anything we move onto step after that) till we find what it is that causes the issue for you.

    I reinstalled v1.0.136 - ran the same gcode file with no pause. The only issue I had was the zero for xy was off. Used the probe to zero for both runs, but for some reason the xy was off so far off that the second run did not match the first run and the work piece was not usable. To the store tomorrow to buy more wood.

    What machine/controller are you running?
    If its not a grbl/grblHAL based controller it won't work with the newer stuff. V1.0.136 is suuuuper old Release v1.0.136 · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL from January 2019! But did support other types of firmware back then. So maybe you have a controller from back in those days?
