Can somebody please help me I'm having issues with creating a macro sub-program using g91 for Engraving I'm having an issue with the i j k being an absolute value instead of an incremental value so can somebody please tell me how to change the post processor to where it post out in incremental value

I've noticed issues when I transform toolpaths and use incremental... I think it's a post issue, which is why I am seeking help here. The issue is, when I transform translate a toolpath and use incremental to reduce program size, if I have a rotation, it will still be in incremental during the rotation and won't go back to absolute until the next X axis or Y axis motion. I've had this bite me several times and was wondering if there's a way to make it go back to absolute on the A axis motion as well? Maybe have it end subroutines with a G90 or something. Any ideas??? Thanks!

I keep getting an error while trying to run my part. I'm running a rotary toolpath and when I reach A-99999.999 in my code (G90) it alarms out saying I cant go further in that axis. I've tried to post it in Incremental motion with the misc. values which seems to work until it does a full rotation then it wants to go backwards to A0 again before it does the next pass. How do I do this differently? The part is 30inches long and the toolpath works great until I reach the limit (while roughing the part with a .1 step-over and to finish I want to use a .005 step-over.) That means I'll only get a couple inches before it'll alarm out! Any thoughts?
