    You should be okay with G Code (inch)(*.tap) or G Code (mm)(*.tap) are you drawing and saving toolpath in Inch or mm?

    Tried those settings also GBRL both inch and mm.

    No idea what is going on

    An update.

    I run the same small pocket test design with Cut2D this worked fine. With both MakerCam and Cut2D working okay the finger firmly points at VCarve. Both Cut2D and VCarve are Vectric pieces of software. My thoughts turned to application conflicts so I uninstalled both Cut2D and VCarve. I then reinstalled VCarve and run the test again, this time it worked perfectly.
    It looks like Vectric cannot work with 2 applications installed. Thanks Phill05 for your suggestions.

    Interesting. I have Cut3D, VCarve, and PhotoVcarve all installed, and even had two versions of VCarve (8.5 and 9) installed at the same time. Never seen any problems. Some kind of fluke corruption during installation? Haven't tried Cut2D, though.

    Was a bit hasty to pointing a finger. Issue still unresolved.

    After lots of testing with different Laptops and cables I have now sent the controller board away for testing, looks like that might be the issue.
