How do I remove stop at origin before cutting?

[andyl1000]

All my CNC programs move to the origin (0,0) BEFORE beginning the actual program...
Any way to get Vcarve to skip this?
Thanks!

You can update the post processor. By default it moves the machine to Home.
You can change that.

Code: Select all

Wow thanks! Have been trying to solve this mystery for a long time...
Can you tell me more specifically how to access the post processor edit screen to add those lines of code?
Thanks again.

Post processors are text files. You can edit them with your favorite text editor.

In Vcarve select File/Open Application Data Folder...

The post processors are either in the My_PostP or the PostP folder.

Make a backup copy of the file you are about to change.
Make the edits using your favorite text editor.
Save the file.

Open/Restart Vcarve to see the changed post processor.
