Modify Z retract on a 5axis osai post

alex.alvarezk — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 22:29:04 GMT

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction, I'm trying to make a modification to the safe Z retract on the osai post so far i've tried suppressing lines 388 and 561 on the post as a ' process of elimination' but all it does is add G0 to the same line of code. The attached images show the lines I would want to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty sure that is the value set by the clearance plane in the CAM system.

Right, which would be line 391 in the post i've attached. As you can see it's suppressed at the moment, when unsuppressed it fails to give me a working program. Essentially what i'm trying to do is change the safe retract to Z6. and i'm trying to figure out which line in the post controls that value.
