Help with Editing a Post

I can't seem to find anyone with a post for a dx32 controller so I was hoping someone may be able to help me edit the one I have. My problem is that it spits out some crazy code whenever I have to do a Z move inside of cutter compensation. Any help would be appreciated. Following is a copy of my post;

#| Features: |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Following Misc_Reals & Misc_Integers are used:
#
# mi1 - Work coordinate system 
#        0 = Reference return is generated and G92 with the 
#            X, Y and Z home positions at file head.
#        1 thru 3 = Reference return is generated and G92 with the 
#                   X, Y and Z home positions at each tool.
#        4 thru 9 = The WCS of G54 thru G59 respectively at each tool.
# mi2 - Rigid Tapping enabled
#       1 = Rigid tapping mode enabled
#       0 = Rigid tapping mode disabled
# mi3 - Corner rounding
#       1 = Corner rounding enabled
#       0 = Corner rounding Disabled                    
#
# Options / Usage:
# It is recommended to start and end cutter compensation on a linear move.
#
#Canned text:
#    Entering cantext on a contour point from within Mastercam allows the
#    following functions to enable/disable.
#    Cantext value:
#    1 = Stop =  output the "M00" stop code
#    2 = Ostop = output the "M01" optional stop code
#

Post the nc code with this "crazy code" so we can see what all the craziness is about....

This is a slot along an arc.

I would like the tool to enter cutter comp, Z down at the right arc side of slot(as I would use a drill to open it up to descend at the center of the arc), cut, Z up, exit cutter comp.

What actually happens is it seems to come down to far to the right(outside of the slot), make a move beck to the left, Z down(Z should be w/o XY coords), cut the slot, then do an extra arc or two, then Z up(Z should be w/o XY coords or it ignores Z), exits cutter comp.

After closer examination, that G3 is legit and should be there, it closes the end of the slot, yet the controller wants to do some crazy arc outside of the slot....must be a formatting issue, just not sure what order i would have to put the code in....oh well....back to trial and error

Most people utilize comp with the lead in move once they are in the part. You're looking to take up comp and remove it above the part which may get a little tricky. BUT, if you go into the control definitions (from the machine definitions manager), click on "Cutter Compensation". Make sure the box is checked for "Control supports cutter comp..." Then look down and theres a box to check for "Start and end cutter compensation above part". Try that and see if it does what you need.

Nearly impossible to get a Z move after the comp gets turned on. It's always going to position, drop Z, ramp on with comp.
