Here is a strange one...
We have on our network, Techsoft 2D design v1.13 which we use for out putting to several Denford machines. Our IT people are going through a re-vamp of our network and in the process have and installed Techsoft 2D design v1.28 onto several machines.
The problem is that the .fnc files generated by v1.28 ar missing the z2 code after a tool change.
I have attached two files so you can see the difference.
Dix1 has been generated from v1.13
Dix2 has been generated from v1.28
Any ideas, anyone else had this problem?

Re: Techsoft 2d Design missing G-Code
I'm pretty sure it's Techsoft which is not outputting the Z move - I'm not sure if there are any options or settings you can look at inside Techsoft?
To be certain it's not the Novamill (metric) post processor, compare all the files in c:\denford between the two machines.
The latest Techsoft to denford post processor can be found here, just to be sure you haven't installed an older version:

Re: Techsoft 2d Design missing G-Code
I did think Techsoft initially however i am having the same problem now occuring with Lathecam designer when generating .fnc files with the same rapid move missing after a tool change, so thought it may be a generic file they both use ?? i am still investigating the Lathecam problem to try narrow it down.
