Keith have you opened the particular postprocessor? Now I know very little about programming and therefore the reason I did not write my own post.

Maybe someone can give you some help as to how to modify it. I would also try several of the different post on the same part to see how they output code. If you find anything that looks like what you want go to the Madcam folder and open that post along with the one for your machine. The differences will be evident pretty quick......I think.
My best reccomendation though, is to contact Joakim directly and tell him your problem and what you are wanting to do with the post......teach.
