Bill,

I believe that all output for wrapped geometry is at Y0. Always has been.

Some questions to help narrow down the problem:

Are you using cutter comp on the chamfer tool, and does your machine support
this?

What kind of Machine/Control/Rotary setup are you using?

What is the error code you are getting?

Dave
