I too use tooling posts.

I use only two posts outside the work area but inside the machine envelope.

The posts are located along X = midle value of the axis range.
I position my design in the centre of the working range and then extract the milling info so that the machine bed and tooling posts ...

Yes MACH ought to report this.

I use LinuxCNC and it does report issues of this kind if outside specified tollerance.


EDIT: can You post the DXF file?

DXF files are notorious for producing lines whihc ought to joined but in reality are disjointed.

I do not know if Your original DXF data suffers from this afliction. One of the problems is that arcs and circles end up with mismatched attributes ( radius versus end points ).

The author of the optimiser was known to show up on CNC Zone site in the PCB milling area.

Try him there.

This is the story of the proverbial cat.
Do I open the box ( run the cutter over the laminate ) to check if the cat is alive ( to make sure the laminate is level ) or do I take it in blind faith the cat is alive ( kind of )..

What I want to say is leveler idea is fine only as a first degree ...

... how did it go?

a little while later...

Changed G31 ( or was it G32 ) to EMC compatible statement G38.2 see the link for explanation of G38.2

commented T lines as current tooltable reported not to conatin tool

Program bombs out on an arc statement.

Had a look at Your file on LinuxCNC software.
Reported unkmown G code at line 22 or thereabouts.
Did not have enough time to look at the report thoroughly.
Will try to locate offending statement

post a sample of Your G code with arc format.

You are seeing numerical noise caused by fragments of track data which are of zero length.

As sucjh they can be interpreted as arcs of very tiny radius.

I have had some bad experiences with these events with professional CAM software.
