Hello,

I am new to modifying posts, changed a few basic things for Mills but never on lathe.

This is what I am trying to accomplish:

Mastercam X5

Starting with "GENERIC FANUC 2X LATHE.PST" I would like to make a copy of this post titled "Tailstock". Modified so that the Z move happens before the X move after tool changes and at the end of every operation I get simply G28U0.

This way there will be no manual editing when using the tailstock in our machine.

Here is a sample of how it is currently posting:
