Mill with 4 Axis
Feed-override not at zero
The spindle on/off is a manual operation M3 & M5 not needed.
Tool Table is fine
I'll check " motion.adaptive-feed, motion.feed-hold and motion.feed-inhibit "

I can run the snowflake example before I run the HexProgram, but after I've tried the HexProgram the snowflake example will not run. It just sits the same as the HexProgram.

I wonder if it is waiting for a toolchange?

If you run the snowflake, then issue a tool-change command in MDI then try again what happens?

Ran snowflake no problems
Called T1M6 from MDI then ran snoflake no problems
Ran HexProgram same problems - Graphs ok, but won't run, computer slow to respond after
Ran snowflake again after hexprogram - Graphs ok, but won't run, computer slow to respond after

Looks like it's something in my math or variable names
The attached simpler version does the same thing Graphs ok, but won't run, computer slow to respond after

G91 A60 is a 6 minute move at F10. Is it that?

No it's not the G91 A60 in the second program G0 is active, and for the fun of it I tried puting G0 on the same line.

Ah, yes, so it is. Sorry.

I am stumped, I have to admit.
I think what I would so here would be to modify the code to look like this and see what I see.
Code:
( MAIN PROGRAM ) (debug, start main) G0G17G20G40G80G90 (debug, point 1) T1M6 (debug, point 2) G0 X[#<xlocation>] Y[#<ypositive>] (debug, point 3) Z[#<zfinish>] (debug, point 4) G1 Y[#<ynegitive>] F10.0 (debug, point 5) G0 Z[#<zrough>+.25] (debug, point 6) G91 A60 (debug, point 7) G0G90 (debug, point 8) M30
