    Modifying a post

    I would like to add a canned text line on my tool parameters in V9.1. The help says to modify the post txt file but I am not sure how the txt relates to the PST file. I am trying to add a line that says "retract" and will insert a "M25" line which works with my machine. Thanks,
    We are open 24hrs. - just not in a row.

    Sounds like the Retract is a function of some other movement. It should probably be done in the machining function.

    But... if you open the .txt file, you'll see the other Canned Text functions. You can also do a search. Just format it the same as the others.
