To #1: You can eliminate T and M6 output but.... your machine doesn't need any tool changes? and you do you use different tools? You can suppress it in the post file but I want to understand how your output needs to be and what you're doing.

#2: Find this line near the beginning of your post file under "General Output Settings":

arcoutput : 1 #0 = IJK, 1 = R no sign, 2 = R signed neg. over 180

Change the value to "0" like this:

arcoutput : 0 #0 = IJK, 1 = R no sign, 2 = R signed neg. over 180

That should change your arc code.


NOTE: Post mods can get you in a stick real quick. Always back up your post file first before making any changes. That way you have something to go back to in case you edit something incorrectly.
