    Pathpilot Lathe post for F360 inserting M0s

    I noticed when I run the code from F360 on my Rapidturn, the program is forcing 2 "cycle start" actions between tool changes. Easy fix right....turn off optional stops. Didn't work so I checked out the gcode and saw M0s (non-optional stops) inserted by the post before each tool change. I double checked my parameter settings in F360 post processing dialogue to make sure I had the insertion of stops turned off (set to "no"). Anyone else seeing this and can it be corrected without changing the pp code. I can certainly do that, but don't want to have to do it every time the pp gets updated

    I contacted Tormach and they are changing the post to do M1s rather than M0s and will send it to Autodesk.
