    I need a Post for Mach 3 in Visual Mill

    The one on the VM website apparently is missing an important thing. That is its missing the tool change offsets.

    I programmed VM with all my tools and assigned them all tool numbers. When it posts to Mach3 it leaves out the offsets for the different tool lengths.

    On the VM support forum they told me to add the tool number to the G43 H command. But that edit in the g-code does nothing to change the already generated code for the z starting point on each tool change.

    Has anyone had this problem? Please attatch your working post file if you have one
