Another MC post processor question

[hall6ppc]

I have another post editing question . When doing thread mill tool paths my x,y,z moves will not post out on the the same line for my helix tool path. I have x,y on one line and z on the line below repeated until program is finished. I have played around with the post but have not been able to figure it out ( getting all three axis moving together ) . My machine has to have G01's for helixs no G02 or G03 . Any ides?

Thanks "Superman" for all the help so far !

Thanks

In the toolpath operation
This is controlled by the filter, turn OFF the create arcs in all planes.
Open up the tolerance when roughing ( leave material on ). will give shorter programs
a smaller number makes the tool stay closer to the toolpath shown on-screen, but akso make for a longer NC file.

hope you haven't played with the post too much ?????

No not much , I always back up the original copy before any modifications are made.
I have actually tried what you are saying but it had no affect on the out put of G code . I have been working on a different post processor and have it posting code exactly the way I want for my machine. So I guess I will no longer work with this one. Thanks for the help!
