brk_mv_head : no$ #Break the 5 axis moves to remove gouge brk_max_ang : -1 #'brk_mv_head' maximum angle move, applied if chordal Setting those two variables should disable the "breaking behavior". For proof; leave 'brk_mv_head' set to 'yes$', and set 'brk_max_ang' to '30.'. That will cause the Post to "break the moves" every 30 degrees, instead of every "1 degree". Are you 100% certain of exactly which Post you are using? MP can grab a different Post Processor (in another location), depending on where the copies of your Post are located. For debugging something like this, I typically add a String Literal line to 'psof$', so that I can be 100% sure I'm posting from the Post that I'm actually editing in the text editor. psof$ #Start of file for non-zero tool "TEST POST", e$ That way I can be sure of which Post is doing the work. If you want to be sure "at the time of posting", you can press the "G1" button to Post, and when the dialog box comes up, press and hold CTRL + SHIFT + ALT, and while holding those down, press "P" on the keyboard. That will activate the "Select Post" button, and allow you to browse and select a specific Post Processor. If you are creating a "Test Post" to play around with, you will need to copy the ".PST" file, and the ".PSB" file, for MP to work when you Post the code. You must have two files with the exact same Post name, but one needs a .PST extension, and the other a .PSB.

Hey man thank you so much. It work!!! I changed to exactly how you had it and tested it and it did retract and did not break movement. I'm excited not having to spend half an hour editing the program.

Are you using the Siemens 3x post (older, no longer supported by CNC) or the Siemens 3x_4x post (currently supported)? Also not every Siemens control is supported, what control are you using?

Yes, getting the parameter order correct helps. I was going from memory...

"Relative" position means nothing. If has no effect on program position whatsoever. It is for reference only. You can zero it anywhere and anytime you want with no repercussions other than losing a reference position.

Check out the MPmaster, they are already in that post
