Thanks for taking some time to think about and respond to my problem. If I come up with a solution I'll post it here so others can find it.

Ok here is an example of what we have to manually edit. These Z values are from the feed plane setting in linking parameters. It'd be great if they didn't get posted, or if we could simply turn the feed plane off. G00 Z6.

I'm new at modifying posts and have found this forum to be very useful. I hope someone can help me modify my post to ignore the Z feed plane output. We use a subprogram to control our Z axis approach and I'd like to modify our post so we don't have to remember to put in a certain feed plane or manually edit our program after the fact. Any insight from the community is appreciated.
