Hi ... not free but may be an option for you :

... this is not a mrketing ploy and I normally don't post ... but he did ask.
STOP the Post Processor Madness !!
KipwareXC® can do this and so much more :

Do you really need CAD/CAM?
This is not free ... but subscription free ... lifetime license ... 2 seats standard ... no maintenance fees .... MACH3 compatible with no "post processor" needed ......
Fanuc has multiple "systems" for G code. The most common is System A but your control could be using System B or C.
Try G92 ... works the same as G50. If it works ... you could run into other G code...
Editing CAD/CAM’s cryptic post processor language is difficult at least and dangerous at worse.
G Code Conversion software from Kentech Inc. can take you beyond the post processor world and have you...
I would say the most common method would be to mount a dial / coaxial indicator in the spindle ... in a collet ... clamped to a tool holder ... whatever ... and sweep the round part.
Like this :...
Couple more things to try ...
(1) When using the G71 you first move the machine to point A ( these are the coords the tool is at just before you call the canned cycle ) ... in your case the last X...
My recommendation ... take the G42 out of the canned cycle completely.
Some generations don't accept G41/G42 in the canned cycle ... it's roughing anyway, any TNR error will be taken out during...
Maybe an external app? ... like this :

You could output the G code using some generic post ... like Fanuc ... then run the G code file through this to...
Our KipwareM will read the DXF file ... you don't even have to load it into anything ... and grab every POINT location as a hole position.
It will then display a conversational ( fill in the blank )...
One difference is that KipwareT can handle multiple operations in a single program ... Tormach milling owners especially like that capability but it's just as effective in turning.
KipwareT is not...

Thank you.
Kentech Inc. is pleased to announce the release of our Fanuc to Fagor version of our CNC XChange software.
This version of CNC XChange will auto convert Fanuc milling G code format to Fagor...
Our KipwareXC G code conversion software is designed exactly for such tasks.

Hi ... do you design? If not maybe look outside the CAD/CAM box.

Thanks to CNCZone for the chance to post.
Hi ... if you need some general macro programming info ... we have a BLOG series that might be helpful :

Hope it helps ..

One way to accomplish this :
(1) Measure your tools to the top of the table ... which in effect becomes Z0
(2) The distance in G54 Z is the difference between the top of the table and the Z zero...
Maybe think outside the cad/cam box and go conversational.
Fill-in-the-blank programming that's Mach3 compatible.
Kipware CNC PROGRAMMING Software
Just a suggestion ... go conversational.
No drawing ... fill-in-the-blank programming.
Kipware CNC PROGRAMMING Software
Superman's suggestion is a good one. In full auto the control reads in several lines ... so the issues may well be further down the code.
Another suggestion ... did you try single block instead of...
Hi ... maybe think outside the CAD box for CAM?
Conversational software is a good choice for turning ... can I recommend taking a look at ours ... KipwareT®
Available cloud based or traditional...
PC based conversational is available through KipwareM maybe ... KipwareM - Conversational CNC CAM Programming Software for Milling
Generates compatible code out-of-the-box.
KipwareXC® ... KipwareXC - User Configurable G Code Conversion Software
One option ... you can use an offline conversational system like our KipwareT conversational.
KipwareT will output Okuma ( and also Fanuc ) code out-of-the-box ... no post or anything else required....
Isn't it time to put an end to the post processor madness?
Wouldn't you like to use a generic post like FANUC ... then run that code through something that will auto convert it to your machine ......
