    Drill operation problem

    I'm having trouble with my drill operations in CAMBAM.

    I've been changing the "G code origin" because my drawing origin is way off. That has worked well.

    With help from 10bulls and EL34 I've got the gcode changed to use in cncSimulator using a "custom script" for G81 drilling operations. THat has worked well.

    My problem seems to be using both. The g code origin manipulation isn't working on operations with the custom script. I turn off the custom script and my origin looks good again.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks. CAMBAM is great.

    It looks likes this is a bug I'm afraid. I will do some more testing and apply a fix to the development release. It looks like the spiral drilling option may be similarly affected.
    There have been a couple of other bug fixes so I will try and release a new version in the next couple of days.
    Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
