to many A axis moves

[shazam/TPP]

I up loaded my files to the FTP site. I'm milling the floor of a circuler part between two walls and i would like to use my A axis. everything looks fine except when i post it. I have quite a few A axis moves. i would think i would have one then step over in X and A then another A move then step over than an A move and so on. is this a post issue? i am using a modified mpmaster post. i end up doing alot of editing to shrink the program due to memory constraints. machine is a Fadal and this is just a test example. thanks here is the link:

Play with your filter on the operation, but if it is a surface toolpath going to have to deal with it. I always try to use axis sub or 5 axis curve toolpath using a standard 2d pocket toolpath or something else that will make the chain for me. This will eliminate the extra A moves.Beside that have to deal with it.

How about a fixed vector or 3+2 Surface Parallel tool path and eliminate the 5 axis.
