Post wont Output Metric Peck Drilling Values

[Adam]

Hello,

 

My machine only works in metric and the company I work for only works in Standard. I have setup the post to mulitply the XYZ movements and Feed by 25.4.

 

But I cant figure out why the Post still outputs Inch values for peck drilling cycles. So when I want to peck 1in down it only pecks 1mm instead of 25.4 mm! ughh her is the Drilling Def.

Is it something in there?

 

Thanks for the help.

iniht,peck1,peck2 and depth also need to be scaled
