In your post in the pheader #Start of file section, find a line that looks like:

"/G28 U0", e$

"/G28 W0", e$

It may not be exactly like them in your post.

and

 

sg50 or "G50"

 

Put ane of these # at the start of the line and try posting again.

 

before you do it make a copy of your pst file.

 

 

Good luck

So you are moving from V9 to X3? Your post was working fine but now it isn't?

 

You shouldn't need to do any post editing if this is the case. You probably had some default Miscellanous Integers set in V9 that aren't set in X3...

 

Usually Misc. Integer #1 controls the format of the startup/toolchange info.

 

Make a backup of your post before starting. Then go in Mastercam to File > Edit/Open External.

 

Browse to your posts folder and open your post file.

 

Now read the header of the post. There are usually notes in the header that describe the functionality of the Miscellanous Integers and how the post writer has set them up.
