Hello, SUBS
Check your handle point, also the .smf file related to the .tmp file being used. I always set subs to use the incremental mode G91, MAKE SURE that the wkplane and tlplane are the same, and the properties of the tool path are to your requirements. After that you should make the SUBCALL. This should work for you. The SUBCALL feature is a very useful file size reducer.
