Haas NGC post is including A-axis even when not selected

I have searched and there were a couple suggestions to change the options to YES and or REVERSED and then change it back to NO to see if that reset the post but I have tried them all and can not get the PP to stop writing the following code after each tool change.

 M11
 G0 A0.
 M10
 
This PP was just updated a few days ago so I am hoping that it is just a bug nobody caught but I am trying to get my new VF2SS going and chasing this excess code to delete it really slows me down. Am I using the wrong post or doing something wrong or is there something buggy with this post?
 
Thanks,
Marc

Do you have a Machine Configuration established?
Are you using Tool Orientation at all?

The machine is wired for 4th axis but I do not have a rotary on it at this point. I think the original "machine" setup in Fusion did have A-axis enabled. I think that I may have downloaded that machine configuration from another thread in here. I just created a new "machine" in Fusion that does not have the A-axis enabled and that has solved the issue for now. When I do get a rotary table I will need to designate a different PP for operations using the rotary table. It would be a lot simpler if the options to turn that off in the PP actually worked. I am sure that there are reasons why but I am not even close to understanding the post processors yet.

 

Thanks for the help!

It's your Machine Configuration. If you have a machine selected that has an A axis enabled (or any other axis) you are going to see that difference in your output code. Switching to a -just- 3 axis machine is going to be the solution.
