THanks Michael and Dwey, I think I failed to properly code the individual part files and that is the probable error. I will pluck away at it this evening and try again.
Kurt, While that is one option, I am usually cutting out of a sheet of wood. I have a higher level routine that I pass the upper left coordinates of the part then use that with a G92/G92.1 This allows me to try a couple of placements simply by changing the coordinate positions in the call. Thanks all for your help.
