    Post Edit Help Request - Removing A Output and modifying Tool Change

    Hello folks,

    I'm working on getting my little benchtop G0704 Conversion home machine up and running at any sort of a workable workflow right now for use with my TTS tooling, and I have three problems. The post is a MPMaster edit, here's an example of how it tool changes currently


    Code:
    M5
    G49 G0 Z0.      <---- This sends my spindle into the table
    X0. Y0.            <---- Manual tool changing, not necessary
    A0.                  <---- Completely unnecessary 
    M01
    G49 T2 M6
    etc.

    I would like to change the post to remove the unnecessary moves, as well as remove the G49 and replace it with G28, so that it just sends it to Z home for the tool change. I've poked around in the post but I cant seem to get it right, care to give me some advice on where the right variables are? I recognize that I will probably have to configure it to post something along the lines of
    Code:
    M5
    M01
    G91 G28 Z0.   
    G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 G54                       
    G49 T2 M6
    etc.

    I pulled the [G00 G17..] string from the output of a VF2 post here at work, if that's a mess to implement/not really necessary its not a huge loss, just a good safety line.

    Attached is the post if it helps.

    I can have a look at this for you. Is it still something you need?
