Machine Components Moving?

Ok, here is a weird (well, to me ) one.

A twin spindle lathe. The main spindle has a chuck model attached. The sub spindle has a chuck attached, and also a bolt on tailstock nose (this machine can have the sub spindle chuck removed, and a tailstock nose bolted in place, so the W axis can be used as a tailstock).

I save the machine file. Then, when I open the project again, with the saved machine file, the sub spindle chuck and tailstock nose are now moved and are below the main spindle. No matter how many times I save the file, it still does this.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks Daniel. I just had a quick look at the mail. I'll do a comparison shortly.

Really weird that it wont either save correctly, or it moves

Re: Machine Components Moving?

Could this be the initial machine location... where things go upon reset?
