    Postprocessor code always drilling same hole twice

    I am using Sprutcam 1.28 and Tormach PCNC 1100 and I have the following problem.

    Sprutcam detect a hole pattern, generate the corresponding toolpath and the simulation is working fine.

    The postprocessor generator generate the following code:

    N400 X-0.405 Y0.294 Z0.3 M3
    N410 G81 Z-0.17 R0.103 F5 M8
    N420 Y-0.294
    N430 Z-0.17 R0.103
    N440 X0.155 Y-0.476
    N450 Z-0.17 R0.103
    N460 X0.5 Y-0.
    N470 Z-0.17 R0.103
    N480 X0.155 Y0.475
    N490 Z-0.17 R0.103

    With this code all holes except the first one will be drilled twice (the same problem using the series G81-82-83 .....), for exemple, a hole will be drilled at line N440 and since G81 is modal, a second hole at the same x-y is drilled by line N450.

    The only way I could find to prevent this is to edit the file and delete line 450-470-490 ......

    My question is: can I instruct the postprocessor generator not to generate those lines since the instruction for Z and R from line 410 are still in effect until modified by a G80 code

    Regards
