Axemas,
Having been away from nativecam use for a few months, I came in to the shop yesterday morning ready to wrestle with the bodged-together version that Bogdanthegeek and Giovanni made possible last year. Super delighted to find the results of your work, installed and up and running very easily on a new machine (morbidelli author 503), in use within an hour or so. Thank you so, so much! As others have said, hopefully FernV is well and just no longer interested in his fantastic project; it's great to see it alive again, and ready to try out on the lathe too, and maybe the side drills on the morbidelli (if I ever get round to wiring those back in).

So far I find one unexpected behaviour, to do with the way part alignment responds to Workpiece axis align value:
I have workpiece of 150x150x2400, Y align = centre, and a rectangular array also with Y align = centre. Workpiece Y coord = 0, array Y coord = 0.
I would expect the array to show up at Y=0, but it appears instead at Y=-75; changing the array's Y axis align value (top/centre/bottom) does not change the array position.

Y axis copies was 1 for this behaviour. Playing around just now, changing that number made the array reset and appear as expected.

A minor oddity in an exceptionally welcome piece of software. Thank you again!

F-WORD = F = feed rate, it can not have a negative value as far as i know, although there might have been talks about that for EDM probably, but i do not recall the end result.

You're right. That was the cause of the error.
Thank you very much.
