Anyone have a post or an easy fix to get code with no z moves? I have a plasma table and the software that came with it sux... I am spending too much time editing all the work, tool offsets and z moves.
Any help appreciated.

Are you using Virtual Gibbs for plasma cutting? Nothing like a little overkill (:-)

Take a look at using SheetCAM. It's easy to learn and has plasma posts that do things in the right order and has plasma specific parameters like Pierce Height, pierce delay, lead-ins (4 types). lead-outs and provisions for using a touch-n-go surface sensor.

Depending on the controller you have SheetCAM may already have a post that will work.

Here are 5 post processors for prototrak machines that I believe are 2-axis only. They came from burgerboy's site:

Hope One will work for you!
