I'm liking this program. This in combination with the ezcam online thing I found may allow me to make a good program or two of my own. One problem I'm having with the CNC simulator though is getting my part on the block. The demo codes provided with it always run right in the bock, but my code always runs way outside. Is there some setting I'm missing. I messed around with the block size and inch/mm settings but I think I might have messed it up even more.
