I'm using the newest Haas NGC post supplied by Autodesk, with the options for A & C axes on. DWO & TCPC are enabled, which I have for my machine.
I set my work offset (G54) for some stock, set my tool offsets, ran a bunch of 3+2 operations without issue, then went to run a simultaneous 5-axis operation (with one of the same ball mills that had been used in 3+2, no changes to tool offsets), and right off the bat the machine crashed the tool holder right into the part at the high feed rate (fml). Looking at the g-code (which I'm new at) and comparing it to the 3+2 code, looks like everything was positioned properly while G254 enabled (using DWO to position piece), then G255 was called (which apparently is standard for 5-axis operations). The subsequent G234 command causes the crash, lowering the Z-axis to it's near Z-minimum. Was Z0.3, which I don't see how translates to the spindle being in that location. I'm not sure if the person who trained me didn't instruct me on how to set something up for 5-axis, or if I'm missing something else. Thanks for your help in advance.
Here is the code that caused the crash:
O00001 (Tail Flow + Sole Flow Test)
(Using high feed G1 F500. instead of G0.)
(T3 D=0.375 CR=0.1875 - ball end mill)

N15 G20
