    Fanuc 18i decimal places now needed all of the sudden

    I have been running this machine (doosan mx2500 lt) for about a year now. Typically everything has a decimal place except our Y0.0 coming out of cam software. It has ran just fine. If Y was to be moved anywhere but Y0 it would spit out the decimals just fine.

    Code below

    N1 M6 T03000 (T03003 3/8" METAL REMOVAL)
    T04000 M1 (PRESELECT)
    G28 U0.
    G28 W0. V0.
    T03003
    M35
    M101
    G97 S4500 M33
    M289
    G28 H0.
    G50 C0.
    G28 B0.
    G54
    M90
    G19
    G0 G40 G98 Z-0.25 Y0
    G0 Z-0.25 Y0 C5.4929

    (now i need it to say Y0.0)

    Now, something has been altered and it is alarming out that there is no decimal place all of the sudden. What could have changed? Only difference has been that my boss set up to dnc off our memory card one day but switched back after that job was done.
    This isnt a big deal to me but we are having other issues and are trying to pinpoint them also, and hoping they are not interrelated somehow.

    Thanks Ken

    If your boss changed any machine parameters incorrectly, there ya go.

    Haha, yes he sure did.. Went through the parameters to DNC of card and it was right next to the parameter that changed the decimal to being needed.
