    What are you looking for that you do not get in the output right now:

    1)Rigid Tapping M29?
    2)High Speed Milling (G05P1R?) possibly?

    I think but would ask for backup on this but I set this in the machine definition manager by right clicking on the rotarty axis componets in the machine tree and selecting properties, dialogue there will have values for those limits which will be read by the post when parsed prior to posting any code, I do some simultaneous 4 axis and I am setup on the machine to wind up <count over 360°>, my limits are set to 360000.000° -360000.000°.

    I can possible show some examples for the other 2 if I am sure I know what you are looking for.

    Sorry just showed you my limits for my 4th axis I am not running 5th depending on your machine should see something like 120.000° -30.000° make sure to get the direction correct on the signed values here. The smaller limit is usually the negative.

    The rotary axis limits are set by the control or machine definition, not the post, l can't remember which at this time.
    To change them, go through the machine definition to change the control definition or else the new settings won't 'stick'
