    I have been using this software and the "old " machine for almost 8 years now. I like to think I have it figured out but I am getting stumped now.

    Not all the times, but most of the times when I draw something and go to cut it is when the craziness happens.

    It will make the first cut, then come back to the original starting point, go down, arc, then go back up and go on its way. I cannot not figure out what is going on and what is causing it.

    Could you guys help me out!

    Thanks!

    This generally comes about when creating the leadin for the tool path. You must specify either a length and angle or a radius for the lead-in when creating your male tool path.

    I want to get this straight, this happened because when I exported it I did not do the lead in?

    I just want to make sure I don't do it again---very aggravating!

    Thanks!
