    mastercam X5 need post God

    I recently updated to X5, having post problems.
    If I have 2 chains in an operation, X Y and Z move together instead of X Y then Z
    I found the line in the post Plinm,
    plinm # Linear line movement - at feedrate 1
    pcan
    pcan1, n$, sccomp, sgcode, x$, y$,z$ pfr, strcantext, e$
    pcan2,
    if I move to:
    plinm # Linear line movement - at feedrate 1
    pcan
    pcan1, n$, sccomp, x$, y$, pfr, strcantext, e$
    pcan2, n& sgcode, z$, pfr, strcantext, e$
    it's close, it seperates the z moves from the X and Y but the feed rates don't follow right it doubles some. It also puts the X Y feed rate after the move.
    Here is a sample with the post in original condition:
    %
    N10 G70 G75 G90
    N20 G0 T20 M6
    N30 G0 X2.1875 Y-1.6563

    N50 Z.1
    N60 G1 Z-.4 F15.0
    N70 X2.
    N80 X1.9062
    N90 Y-1.75
    N100 Y-1.9375
    N110 G0 Z.1
    N120
    N130 X2.1875 Y-1.4063 N130 G1 Z-.4 F15.0 ****
    N140 X2.
    N150 X1.6562
    N160 Y-1.75
    N170 Y-1.9375
    N180 G0 Z.1

    N210 X2.
    N220 X1.4375
    N230 G3 X1.4062 Y-1.1875 I1.4375 J-1.1875
    I think I'm going to have the same problems with cir interpolation:
    pcirm # Circular interpolation 2
    pcan
    pcan1, n$, sgplane, sccomp, pccdia, psgcode, x$, y$, z$, pijk, pfr, strcantext, e$
    pcan2
    Any Post gods out there

    In Mastercam have you tried editing the control definition for your machine?
    If you go to : settings / control definition manager / linear ; you should see some options.
