    Tool offset not activating

    I have Dolphin Cad, and I'm running Mach2 on a milling machine.
    Everytime I make a part that requires a tool change, the tool offset for the second tool does not activate.
    Just before the request for the 2nd tool to be put in (manually), there's a G49 command to cancel offsets.
    When I hit start after the tool change, I've been told that there should be a G43 command to enable offsets. My PPR is not putting it in there.
    Could someone please show me what line to modify in my PPR file to install a G43 command after a tool change !!
    Thanks for any help.

    How about sending me your Dolphin Partmaster Cad and Cam files and I will take a look at them.

    No problem;
    Where should I send them to?
    I'll send a copy of the PPR file I'm using also.

    After a bit of thinking, I don't think the issue is with the Cad or Cam files because there are no provisions for tool offset information.
    I would still like to find out how to add a G43 code to my PPR after a tool change.
    Anyone?
    Thanks
