Mach4 (or Mach3) waterjet post processor z axis

[adamdbaird5DQUU]

I have a waterjet with z axis movement.  The generic mach post does not drive the z axis for piercing and post cut moves even though the cut path process setup asks for cut height.  Am I missing something?  I guess a work around is to use the mach3 plasma post (it has a z axis option), but that could potentially add confusion to the process.

Thanks

Hi @adamdbaird5DQUU 

depending on the physical machine driven by the mach3 plasma post, the z axis may need to be moved by the controller, or is managed by the thc system from the plasma system.

You have not noticed a post property that allow to output Z coordinate:
