As Tim told you, set the decimals to 6 places if needed (I would test this as most
systems will work just fine with 4, but it depends a lot on the kind of work that you
are doing and what CAD program you use for drawing. Lots of outlined letters with
offsets will tend to need more decimals, simple
prismatic pockets and countours should not need it). Also, the EMC controller
now has the option for absolute and incremental IJK for arc centers. Make sure
that you have this set the same in Vector. Vector is set to Absolute by default
as that is the way the original EMC was setup. The setting is under
Options-Driver in the NC editor (check or uncheck incremental arc centers)
