    need to cancel m6

    I am using MasterCam X3 and Mach 3 as a controller. my problem is when i post my code it places "M6" after the tool number. this causes an error in Mach3. i can easily edit out all the "M6" entrys but it would be so much easier if i didn't have to each time i post code. I've searched through Machine definitions and control definitions trying to find where to eliminate this entry with no luck. anyone know where to look?

    update

    i found out that my problem was in the post. I also discovered MCX3 has a post debugger that makes finding post issues easy, even for a novice like me. i found where it was adding the m6 in the code, followed it to find the variable declaration and just changed it to empty quotes. works fine. hope this helps someone else.
