Errant movement when ctrl + Arrow held to move tool.

The control window disappears and the machine will not stop with S key or space bar only the Stop switch.

This happened several times and I tried different things to disengage it and none worked.

Also Dale,

Does it happen the first time you hit the key ... or is it after beating on it a few times?

Also, laptop or desk PC and is the keyboard a USB keyboard?

Problem with va command in v3 software.

va,%(1)-5.75,%(2)-.09,%(4),%(3)
The line above comes back with a variable error message: invalid expresion (%(4);0). I have the software set up to recognize the acc. axis and am using the latest version which I just downloaded. This line is in an axis-switching program which worked fine in the dos sofware. Does system variable %(4) still exist? Any ideas?

Major problem with the file convesion command. First, it often leaves out the jog Z up commend before a j2 command is issued resulting in the cutter plowing through the wood and your parts. I have to edit each generated file and add this command to prevent this from happening.

Second, I have DXF files with layers and when the wizard comes up, it shows the different colors of my layers where I enter the dept amount. But the generated file always puts mz,0.0000 no matter which layer it's cutting. It never puts the commands to move z to the correct depth of the given layer.
