    TCC v3 - keeps inserting G28 - why

    Hi Folks,

    Some help would be most appreciated.

    TCC v3 seems to add the following code between tool changes:

    G91 G28 Z0. M09
    G28 Y0.

    Particularly the g28. At the moment I edit this out after generating the g code file. How else do I stop this happening. Have I missed something in "settings"?

    Secondly it seems that I can't edit this code in the g code window. I can only edit the G code when a single operation is highlighted and then the offending code is not visible.

    Any pointers in the right direction would be great.

    Phil

    Question G28

    I am New to TurboCAD but not G-Code.

    This G-Code is used to return an axis to the home position for tool change.
    Ex. G91G28Z0M19
    G91 Incremental Motion
    G28 Home
    Z0 Z postition Home for ATC
    M19 Origin Spindle

    Usually after a tool is finished being used one would send it home in the Z axis and sometimes Y and Z to change tools on some machines.

    Is the TurbCad post sending a tool home before you are finished using it? Like maybe when you are doing a pocket in steps or set D.O.C.?

    This may be a simple fix in the TurboCAD Post.
