I have been trying to get my modified okuma post to post with safe start all operations option like some of the other milling posts.  Any help is appreciated.

What machine and control? Are you trying to restart at a tool change or would you want every operation to retract in Z and go home?

I want the option of either coming home between operations using the same tool (safe start all operations) or continuing on in the program with no home and no stops.  With the option to toggle on or off.  Machine is an MA-600HB with OSP-P200M control.

I'm sure this isn't exactly what you want but the you'll see what I did.

 

I removed your code in the onSectionEnd function to make the changes more obvious. The forceToolAndRetract variable is controlled by the SafeStartAllOperations property. I used it to make the insertToolCall variable true. You can manipulate it however you want. 

 

In my LB3000 post I use ManualNC to force the machine home between certain operations if I want to inspect an insert of the part etc. I didn't add that to yours but wanted to share that it was a possibility.
