    Default How to change how offsets are called up

    We have various citizen swiss lathes. When posting a program the tool call ups do not contain an offset. How do I change this? Example below.

    Currently the code looks like this:
    T0100;
    G0 Y? Z?;
    ..
    I would like it to look like this:
    T0101;
    GO X? Z?

    Thanks in advance

    T0101, the second 01 means offset number 01, which should have been set in advance.

    what do you think of changing file extension. ? ??is this the way to do it? this is from autodesk
    To change the file extension for a Post Processor, perform the following steps:

    Open the .CPS file with a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
    Search for "extension" using CTRL+F.
    Change the extension in the quotation marks to the desired file extension.
