I kind of hijacked this thread I guess. Greg J had the same type of problem, so I figured it would be a good place to look for an answer. I do have a post that generates a D every time theres a G41. The generic Haas post, its ok when you program the correct tool number, but if you need to make a change at the machine then its a whole "change all "D5" to "D7" or whatener. Not hard, but kind of annoying. At least now I know how to stop that post from doing that. Ideally I would like my Kuraki post to just posted a D and H everytime it picks up a tool, new or previously used in the program.

I originally posted this on Mastercams facebook page, and another user suggested I try it here: If I call up say, an endmill with a D value, then a drill, then the same endmill again, I notice the D value is not posted the second time. Worse is if I use the "force tool change" checkbox. For instance if I want to go to a safe position, (the tool change location) move some clamps out of the way and go back to milling, both the H and the D are then missing. We have one machine with a 8" ring in the table about a half inch deep from a missing H value on a 8" facemill. Is there any way to fix this issue?
