Automatically Adding G28 Code to Mach 3 Post Processor

I'm fairly new at using the Manufacturing feature in F360, so please bare with me.   

 

Is there a way to have the Mach 3 post processor automatically add a G28 command to the beginning and end of the G code so the tool will start with a Z move before the rapid XY movement to first cut and then end with a return to the home position once the work piece is finished?

 

I can manually do this by entering the following code at the beginning:

 

G28 G91 Z0.

G90

 

and then at the end:

 

G28 G91 Z0.

G90

G28 G91 X0. Y0.

G90

M30

 

This manually entered code works, but it is would be much easier if the post processor could do this automatically.

 

Thanks,

Brent

@brentwnelson Check the version of your mach3 PP.
The mach3 PP should do just that.
