Thanks MacroBMan

I think I found it. When I un-commented the call to pcom_movea, the post stop outputing the rapid move to X0Y0. Thanks PC for the offer. psof$ #Start of file for non-zero tool number prv_tloffno$ = c9k pcuttype toolchng = one if ntools$ = one, [ #skip single tool outputs, stagetool must be on stagetool = m_one !next_tool$ ] pbld, n$, *smetric, e$ pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgplane, scc0, sg49, sg80, *sgabsinc, e$ sav_absinc = absinc$ if mi1$ <= one, #G92 Local Work coordinate system [ absinc$ = one pfbld, n$, sgabsinc, *sg28ref, "Z0.", e$ pfbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", e$ pfbld, n$, sg92, *xh$, *yh$, *zh$, e$ absinc$ = sav_absinc ] if mi1$ = three | mi1$ = four, #G52 Work Shift [ absinc$ = one pfbld, n$, sgabsinc, *sg28ref, "Z0.", e$ pbld, n$, sg52, *xh$, *yh$, *zh$, e$ if xh$ | yh$ | zh$, shft_flg = one else, shft_flg = zero absinc$ = sav_absinc ] pcom_moveb pcheckaxis c_mmlt$ #Multiple tool subprogram call ptoolcomment comment$ pcan pbld, n$, *t$, sm06, e$ pindex if mi1$ > one, absinc$ = zero pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, pfcout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e$ pbld, n$, sg43, *tlngno$, pfzout, pstagetool, e$ pbld, n$, scoolant, e$ absinc$ = sav_absinc pbld, n$, sgabsinc, e$ pcom_movea #9-5-12 was commented out toolchng = zero c_msng$ #Single tool subprogram call

debugger says pxout and pyout but the next toolchange dosen't output an X0 Y0 on the first Z move. Is there a switch in the MD or CD to output an X0 Y0 after the 1st toolchange?

How do I get rid of the G00 X0 Y0 after the 1st Toolchange on block number N160 below.

That was it! Thank you rod

I couldn't attach the mpmaster.pst file but I downloaded it from this forum. thanks for the help, rod 500 HL.MCX-5

I can't get the mpmasters.pst to output arcs with 5 decimals of precision. I have changed the format statement for 5 places like so. fs2 2 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place fs2 3 0.5 0.4d #Decimal, delta, 5/4 place The linear moves output 5 places but the arc move's XYIJ still output at 4 places. rod
