Mach 3 plasma post processor

So there is now a mach3 plasma post processor out and I’ve been messing with it for awhile now and I can only get g28.1 to show one time in the beginning but I can’t get any Z commands to come up after that for my floating head. Also need I also need my Z to lift up after every cut and it’s not doing that ethier. But the rest works great.

Please have a look at the screenshot below, there are property settings into that post for using the Z-axis as well as touching off the surface using G31 (probe).

So there is no way to use g28.1 because I don’t have my z set up as a probe the Z is set up for g28.1 which is homing

So i Got my probe working and G31 is working good besides that there is no feed rate on the first line of gcode so it moves in snail pace when it hits 'G31 Z-100' I need it to say 'G31 Z-100 F20' so is there something in fusion that i'm missing or do i have to change something in the post processor

Hi mate
Go to gen config Page in Mach3 , in the initaize strip add in a default feed rate ie F20
