yes. you are right about that. now how do i get it to do that without going in and manually changing this? i sometimes am running programs over 48hrs long and wnat to post them all at once. trying to find out when or where its going to mess up isnt that easy. is there another setting that makes it default to that? could it be my post?

it doesnt have a problem doing the arc, it has a problem doing the arc in a specific location from my origin. i have four arcs equally spaced from my origin in xy. so i have one in the top left and top right, then i have one in bottom left and bottom right, it will do two of them but not the other two.

my control def was set to break arcs into quadrents. i double checked that first.

the location of this arc from my origin is x3.25 y3.25. yhis is where my print shows it at. i had to translate the arc to x3.2499 y3.25 for it to work. my entry exit arc is" .375 line tangent with a .375 arc at 90 degrees. so it sweeps in. like i said though it will do the entry and instead of continuing with the rest of the arc it will immediately exit arc out, rapid up and go to do the entry again. it will do all the depth of cuts all the way down just doing the entry exit.

i moved my geo .0001 in x and it posts and runs fine.

i get the error out at the machine. this is suppose to be doing a 5.4375 arc and i was leaving .005 on xy. it does the entry exit but it doesnt do the arc. it backplots right but runs different. the divide by zero error comes when i tried to change the program to a ramping contour.

i also know it has something to do with the post settings because i posted with a kitamura post and it worked fine.

i have been having this problem when i have been posting with the generic post for a haas. i translated my geometry in "x" .0001 and it fixed my problem. does any one know why this happens or how to fix this permently? here is a copy of both posts. the first one is bad. the next is good.
