Help with mastercam 9 post

[DeltaRay]

Hi, long story short is a guy quit and I got left holding the bag to learn Mastercam. I've got a lot already but I have a question.
When I post something the headers are a mess. I'd like to reorder how it does some things and add some lines in for every time I post a tool path. How do I edit it so the headers are the same every time and how I want them.
I named all the tools and the descriptions are all set for the tool i have, its just that i'd like it to go home before every tool change, and i was hoping there was a way to format it so i dont have to change it after it posts. Its a pain to have to edit it manually after I post it. Thanks for any help in advance!

Lathe / mill ?
Make ?
Model ?
Control ?
What axes does it have ?

We can show you what changes are required , or point you to a post to start off with to modify.

We do need initial info to help you out.

***** 1st COPY THE POST ******
note! FYI
,e is on the end of output lines
# denotes a comment on trailing data ie n, *t, e #tool preselect
* forces the post to output that string data to the ncfile
"" anything in quotes is directly output to ncfile

For header modifications, search for "pheader" or "psof"
this is usually the 1st thing processed by most posts

for toolchange stuff, is usually after the header, look for ltlchg, ltlchg0 or ptlchg, ptlchg0 for lathe or mill

sof = start of file ( start of file, can contain the header info )
eof = end of file ( ending the ncfile )
ptlchg0 = what happens between operations that use the same tool
pl_retract or pretract = proceedure for retracting from part and then toolchange

Remember, do a small number of mods, then check the output. It can be difficult to find where you missed placing a comma or something similar.
Practice on the header component 1st, this should not affect the actual toolpathing codes.

BTW welcome to the forum

Does your machine use sub routines? If so just write a sub and call it tool chg or something like that. We had to do this because the Mori could not change tools unless the table was back a bit in the "Y" for tool arm clearence. Insert the sub just before each tool change. If you know how to do it you can add this to your post so it is automatic.
