IDK this mill gets in a goofy mood sometimes I gotta cool of a min. or 2 I'll try a dull 1 . It just pizzes me off cause those buggers are not cheap . . yep the beach will not save tool offsets all of a sudden

well looks like cam error and being a long program , the code gets fuzzy looking over it . this bloody cam doesn't post my tool changes right for my mill even after tweaking the post processor . Therefor , I have to go through and edit the offsets I'll be glad when I can finally get a good pro package

Draw the offsets and then program on tool center just make sure of the tool diameter will work everywhere.

When I generate My program (post ) the line for the tool offset when I call for tool change generates like :
T17M06
G43H0 D01

it should be :
T17M06
G43H17 D017

If I miss the H (hight ) it will bury the tool depending on FLZ . Basically G43H17 D017 tells the control what the offsets are for the specific tool . I've talked to visual mill tech about this , and they told me I don't need it , just erase it if they're right or not , IDK My thinking it should be there . On the good note I'm rollin now Just need to adjust some stick out on 1 of the tools for clearance .
