Thanks for the tag, Mark.

Yes, this is a known issue, and being treated with some aggressive attention. We hope to have a Hotfix rolled out soon...

this is scary! I modified my post similar but I just changed the  100 value to 2540

Yes, this has happened to others. This issue may be related to using Machine Configurations. What is happening is that the post is taking your Z100, assuming that it is in millimeters, and then converting it to inches. It would help to know if you are using a generic or custom post, and/or sharing the post so we can take a look at it.

I am using a modified post from the generic library. I had it modified for my format and look. I will share it if you want a copy...

As you mentioned earlier, changing the value to 2540 will make it work for now. As was also mentioned earlier, Autodesk is working on a solution to the issue. I would suggest for you to leave it at that until the hotfix comes out. Modifying the post will probably make it stop working when the hotfix comes out.

my thoughts exactly! Thanks for the update and help!

Heads-up; An update JUST went live that should address this issue. Test carefully and let us know if it still persists.

Thanks for your patience!
