  1. Hi, new to the forum, and pretty new to modifying the post. I've only helped my supervisor at previous company modify a post.

    First thing first, I've already backed up my current post. I'm want to modify the post for my MasterCAM Mill 2017. I am using a CNT Motion Router using WinCNC for conrtol at the machine. I have 2 issues to solve regarding this issue:

    1. The WinCNC software does not read a typical D## after it reads a G41/G42 for offset. The tool comp size is automatically read when the tool is loaded. I cannot have any D## callouts in my program because it is not supported by WinCNC. (there is only 1 comp. size available for each tool)

    Can someone give insight on how to remove this from my post?

    2. I also need to have my G40/G41/G42 on their own line in my program. How can I accomplish this?

    I've made all these changes to the program by hand and confirmed they work. I just need mastercam to post the automatically.

    Here is an example of what my post creates now: 

    [1/8" SINGLE FLUTED SPIRAL END MILL]

    T2
    M3
