This may not be a bug, and is just the way it is, but it's definitely an undesirable scenario. OB Control set to metric. Job designed and posted in inch. Job file sets G20 and runs as expected. When the job is completed, OB Control is still in G20 mode. If you happen to use the axes drop down menu (for example, GOTO Z-5.0 machine coord), the Z axis is now going to do a deep dive and possibly damage the machine, tool, and material, instead of rising up. One could have the posted file switch control back to G21 when finished, but if you do that, the "pre-read" of the file upon opening it screws up the 3D viewer by rendering the view in metric (tiny) from there on. If all the GOTO machine coords would use "0" instead of the backoff distance, this would all be avoided. Having OB Control automatically go back to G21 after a job is finished, would also avoid it. If the pre-read of the file wouldn't mess with the 3D viewer, you could switch back at the end of the file as well. Short of remembering to manually send a G21 or posting the design in metric, is there anything else? Scott
