my tool changes don't show up with this post!

[balsaman]

Hi,

Could one of you post guru's tell me why only the first tool change works with this post? If I change to another tool in the job, the post doesn't insert the G06

What happens is, I specify tool one for the first tool, the nc code stops and notifies me to change to tool one (G06 T1). If I use another tool later in the job, I don't get the G06...it just keeps right on going.

Here is the post. It's slightly modified for my machine, and was downloaded from turbocnc yahoo group, Made for turbocnc.

I renamed it to a txt file so I could upload it here.
