So, I've been able to change a good deal of the post processor to suit my shops preferences. A couple things I'm stuck on:

It outputs a G17 in the first line, and a G20 in the second line. Since the CNC we have defaults to that anyway, can I remove these from the post sequence? If so, how?

And at the end of the program, my partner wants to see:

M5
G91G30Z0.M9
G28Y0.
M30

It's currently giving me a G30 Z0 on the first line, but the next line is G30 Y0....

Also, is there a way to have N numbers ONLY on the toolchange? My partner has worked a certain way for a LONG time. He is used to seeing:
N10 T1 M6
N20 T2 M6
N30 T3 M6
so on and so forth......

Thanks,

Seth

I am not a post genius, but if you look in "psof" there should be a line that sayes"pbld, n, *smetric, e" that is your G20.
And in the following line that should be a "*sgplane" that is your G17.

If it doesn't matter, why do you want to bother with it? What if someday you want to run a program metric? Now you'll have to put it back in. If it works leave it alone.

Lets say you want to start a program where the first cut is in the XZ plane. Now you'll have a problem again. Those codes are there for a reason.
