hi, we are in the process of streamlining our post and are about 99% with our meldas 500 series post. i have omitted line numbers at each line within my post. my code now looks like this, (i editted the work out of the program to shorten my post here.) i want the post processor to increment in N numbers at each new tool comment area. as of now i edit my program at each N number.
