Hi, it's me again Embarrassed -and sorry for being a pain in the ass in the bug section Smiley

This is not a big problem but it slows the machining a bit because of the multiple "air cuts"

Te bug: I did some slots by doing a rectangle, copypasting it and moving pasted rectangle to another place, copypastin that and moving pasted again and same thing fourth time (I was doing some slotting in board for forms when making my mill's table). Then I selected all rectangles and did pocketing on those (14mm tool (1), step over 0.5, 1mm cuts to -4mm target). After that I created the toolpath and made the file.

When machining the woods, the 1st slot came fine. On 2nd slot the machine did 2 passes on each height. On 3rd slot machine made 3 passes on each height. Fourth followed the same pattern.

I was able to reproduce the "bug" and the file is attached to this post. When doing the rectangles separately, the problem doesnt exist. Im not sure that does it concern every copied item when pocketing (the file has rectangles and rouns doing the "extra cleaning").

It's not really a problem but I thought you should know Smiley

Thank you very much for pointing this one out Miguel.

I have tracked this bug down...it was from the automatic island detection code I put in towards the last minute. Once again, my apologies.  I will be putting out a bug fix in the next few days which will include a fix for this and a number of other issues.
