open the pst file

look for this section

pwrtt$      # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
           if rotaxis$ > 0 | rotary_type$ > 0 | mill5$ <> 0,
             [
             sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
             output_z = no$
             ]
           if vmc = 0 & tlplnno$ <> 2, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
           if vmc = 1 & tlplnno$ > 1, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
           #sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x    #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used
           t$ = wbuf(4,wc4)        #Buffers out tool number values
           if tool_table = 1, ptooltable
           if tool_table = 2, ppredtool
           if tool_table = 3, pmetatool
           if t$ >= zero, tcnt = tcnt + one
           ptravel
           pwritbuf5

remove the # from this line above

        #sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x    #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used

save the file and repost

That worked great.  However, this machine won't move other axes while the B is moving.  Is it an easy change to make the XY move output on the next line?
