    Bobcad 21

    I have an old version 21 Bobcad. We actually have a newer version but I like the older version. I am working on programming a cnc lathe to run multiple G32 threading cycles at slightly different starting points to form a shape. I have it set up except for one issue. I need a G00 at the start of each cycle with my new Z value but I need to remove the x value. So my generated code looks like this.

    G32 X8. Z-2.5802 F .866
    W -10.
    X 8.2
    G00 X7.9959 Z-2.6052
    G32 X7.9959 Z-2.6052 F .866

    But I need it to remove the X value in the G00 line for every new starting point. So I need it to look like this.


    G32 X8. Z-2.5802 F .866
    W -10.
    X 8.2
    G00 Z-2.6052
    G32 X7.9959 Z-2.6052 F .866

    Any ideas how to do this in my post without having to delete The x value manually for each new starting point?
