Can't get first cut

[lloyd3]

I know it's me but need advice.  I am using Vetric. 
1.  In material setup show X=14, Y=5.5,  Z=.2 in.
2.  Created text, sent to toolpath section, chose bits, confirmed material size, calculated, ran preview, saved toolpath.
3.  Opened UGS, selected file, and now the visual of document on screen is reading XYZ in thousandths and not inches
4.  Jogged machine to left front corner, setup with piece of paper for,  Z bit clearence., reset Zero, pressed send and machine starts cutting on what would be the head of a pin.
Any help would be appreciated as it is difficult to get thru to Millright

Do everything in millimeters and see what happens.

Make sure you didn't design in millimeters. If you did, your design may be 25.4x too small.
