alphacam face milling m12

[basswakr]

i have alphacam 2016r1 when i use face milling my post will not
output an m12 code (which make it run at 10 times the speed
& terrible finish, we tried slowing down manually by editing
in alphaedit but ignores feeds without m12)

my post will output m12 on any other operation but face milling.
i have to manually add an m12 to face milling operations.

has anyone had this problem & if so have you corrected it?

this is a contour pocket example it has multiple m12 but just putting small amt to show

START

M90
G90
G70
G75
'(OP 1 CONTOUR POCKET - FINISH TOOL 8 .125 BIT)

G97 S10000
G00 T8
G00 Z-0.5

You will need to edit your post processor to suit your needs. I think a little more info is needed for anyone to help. What is M12 and M90 assigned to? Feed rate? I see in the contour pocket G code example there's no feed rate in code but M12. In the face milling G code example there's a feed rate of 16.667 for Z.
