5 Axis drill retrating to Z9999.0

Just started using X7 with our Cimco 5 Axis post for our DMU 50 & 70's and have never seen this before. Any one?

if your post is based on Mastercam's mpgen post

see if mi7 is on by default ( Enable retract to/from limits)

also, search you post for Z99999.

If you want to use this feature, change the Z99999. to a valid value

Thanks for the quick response. I searhed the post and did not find z9999 and mi7 is not being used. I sent it off to our reseller to check out. Thanks again!

Bet the problem is in the .psb file where I can't get to it!

Send me a z2g if you have not talked to your dealer and I will be glad to see if anything sticks out.
