    Thanks!!!!!
    Toby,

    I didn't change anything that should affect this. I'll have a look.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Phil,

    Would you post a picture of what it's supposed to look like? I tried it in a couple different CAD programs, but they looked the same.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Phil,

    Scott,

    Have you had a chance to look at the G98/G99 Initial and Reference point Returns for Mill Drilling Canned Cycles?

    Toby,

    I did take a quick look at it, but didn't find anything wrong. Can you show me what you are seeing?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    This is a quick example. G98 Initial Point Return to jump over a part housing to spot drill and tap 1/4-20

    NC PLOT isn't showing the rapid to the Initial Level for the jump over to Y-2.0

    I must be missing something... It looks OK to me. The attached picture is what I get, is yours not the same?
