You Broke Post Processing

In their continual efforts to fix what isn't broken and not fix what is broken Autodesk is now forcing all F360 users to use their new post processing dialog. I was able to keep my business functioning normally by reverting to the legacy dialog, but looks like their customers have overstayed their welcome as far as doing their work on their own terms goes and are now forced to use the new dialog. 

 

As I found out by crashing my machine, in addition to other previously nonexistent annoyances, this dialog now forces you to enter a tool change position, and otherwise reverts to G53 X0Y0. As is typical with F360 I've spent a lot of good, necessary, precious working hours trying to get back what once worked that is now inexplicably broken. 

 

Any clues on how to get F360 to stop inserting a "go to toolchange position command" (G53 X0. Y0.) for every toolchange after the first one using their new state of the art, bleeding edge, mandatory for all users dialog?

What is your machine and post processor that you're using?

This change has been around for more than a few months. It was not a matter of "fix what ain't broke", the legacy dialog had numerous flaws behind the scenes that prevented us from bringing parity between Mac and PC, among other issues.
