    editing home position in post

    I'm trying to edit my post in mastercam X4 so when my program has finished running it will output and Y zero move only, and not the X zero. The program reads:
    G28 Z0.0
    G28 Y0.0 X0.0

    I would like it to output.

    G28 Z0.0
    G28 Y0.0
    If there is a way to do this in mastercam with out editing the post i would rather do that. but if i need to edit the post i can.

    Back-up your post first.
    Then look for:-

    peof$ #End of file for non-zero tool

    Delete what you don't want to see.

    This is what mine looks like;

    peof$ #End of file for non-zero tool
    pretract
    comment$
    if stagetool = 1 & stagetltype = 2, pbld, *first_tool$, e$
    pbld, "G28 G91 Y0",e$
    pbld, "G90",e$
    "M30", e$
    mergesub$
    clearsub$
    mergeaux$
    clearaux$
    "%", e$


    Your current X0 and Y0 are being stuck in up above, under a lable called Pretract.
    Search for this;

    pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.",

    and delete it.
