Maybe your machine is configured for absolute arc centre locations? (But then I would expect the system to simply refuse to run the code)

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/g-co...ml#gcode:g90.1-g91.1

MDI a G91.1 and see if anything changes.

Sometimes it can be the line before the one highlighted.

The file 1004.ngc looks normal when I load it in the Axis simulator.

Dear all,
I think I found my f'up - this "strange" path" is related to the tool change. I ham-fistedly removed M6 from one of the ngc files - the offending bit is gone and the machine is running the code just fine. So I guess it's simply a rogue tool change position which I accidentally defined at some stage. Mastering the tool change stuff and implementing the TLS is anyway next on the list.

So it turns out to be another PEBKAC issue, sorry for that. image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/whistling.png

EDIT: A litle more explanation what happened, it was entirely my stupidity.... Some weeks ago I started looking into the tool change subject and followed Talla83's instruction video - and stopped half-way through, I only manage to work on the machine occasionally. So yes, M6 was already remapped to a macro and the INI was already changed accordingly - and over the weeks I completely forgot that I already did that stuff. And off course I didn't correct the tool change position in the macro. So getting that stuff to run properly will solve the other "issue" along the way ....  image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/unsure.png ( is there a facepalm emoji? I think I'll need it from time to time).
