I did see some comments that indicated a difference from hole mode to normal mode. Maybe you need to switch to normal mode before the slot and the hex or do all the holes first then switch to normal mode before doing the slot, the hex and the perimeter.

Yeah I am not clear on whether hole mode is only for circular holes or also for small features that are not curcular. The F360 PP doc that came with the PP does not say.

No worries. I'll ask on the F360 PP thread.

I don't use the F360 PP but when I read the post processor file, There are comments to say the small hole section has been reverted to normal
.
It appears that it is only used for centerpunching. I can't see from the code that it will ever use a small hole for anything other than a centrepunch.My guess is if you have not set up your environment correctly, you may get some problems.

If you look at the gcode produced, it reduces feed rate to 60%, does an arc leadin, does the hole then does a torch off overcut for 4mm then resets the feed rate to 100% and re-enables the torch.
