    <description>&lt;P&gt;I do not have a words-1 option under cnc-info,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I did remove the option for metric since we never do metric on the machines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This software is so frustrating.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All of a sudden I have a post that I use every single day.&amp;nbsp; Now intermittently it just decides to switch itself to metric which obviously causes issues.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What is causing this?&amp;nbsp; We do 0 metric work so there's no way its getting changed by anyone.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I switch between multiple posts constantly due to running different machines and it just seems like featurecam loses its mind.&amp;nbsp; It seems to be that whatever post you used last is applied to all open documents.&amp;nbsp; I've just started working on one at&amp;nbsp; time because it can't seem to deal.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;I found this in the help. Have you tried forcing your post to "inch" only?&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;Changing post units&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&lt;P&gt;Post processors (posts) convert the tool path information displayed in&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;FeatureCAM&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;into the NC code required by your machine. One of the things the post controls is whether the NC code is output in inches or millimeters.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To change post units:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;XBUILD&lt;/SPAN&gt;, select&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;General&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;from the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;CNC-Info&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;menu.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;General Information&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;dialog, in the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Dimension&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;field, select whether the post is in&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Inch&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;or&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Metric&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;units, or both. We recommend posts that support both units.&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;OK&lt;/EM&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Choose&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Words-1&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;from the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;CNC-Info&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;menu.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Words Info&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;dialog, update the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Format&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;to specify the number of digits before and after the decimal points for each linear positional word. Typically,&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;3.4&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;is used for inch posts, and&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;5.3&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;is used for&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;metric&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;posts.&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Your post type may contain several pages of the numeric words. Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Next&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;to display the next set of&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Words Info&lt;/EM&gt;. Repeat steps 4 through 5 to change all the linear positional words for your post type.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;When you have finished, click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;OK&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;to close the dialog.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Select&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Formats &amp;gt; Program &amp;gt; Program Start&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;to check for any preparatory code denoting units (&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G20&lt;/SPAN&gt;/&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G21&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G70&lt;/SPAN&gt;/&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G71&lt;/SPAN&gt;).&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Fanuc style controls may use&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G20&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;for inch and&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;G21&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;for&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;metric&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;units. If this code is present, remove it.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Heidenhain controls must have the units set in the first line of the program:&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;&amp;lt;SEQ&amp;gt; BEGIN PGM [uppercase (&amp;lt;PROG-NAME&amp;gt;)] INCH&amp;lt;EOB&amp;gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edit the code so the units here match the units chosen in Step 2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Save the format.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'll take a look at that and see, thank you.&amp;nbsp; It's concerning that all of the sudden with no changes made this starts to happen.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
