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?
