Vericut 8.0

My company had Vericut create a model for one of our machines ,and when I set it up to run vericut it imports all models tool librarys ect  in just fine but on multiple files ive created.

But when I hit play to simulate toolpath in Vericut The Z tool tip Zero point moves back in the z axis on the first tool that runs, and all other tools run as they should any idea why this would happen?

Did you check your NC program (tool length compensation G code) and tool offset setting in Vericut tool manager?

Yes sir i did that was where the issue resided thank you.

This has happened to me with right angle heads. If I remember correctly the Driven Point was in the wrong position in the tool manager.

Driven point should be on the tool tip or gage length in tool manager?

Driven point should always be at tip on Normal tools and dependning on how you setup the Right Angle head and post code then either tip of intersection of tool center line to length posted for.
