there are gcode examples used for demos in the EMC2 install compare them to the code generated by your post processor you should need to (maybe) change a few of the G and M codes to allow the EMC2 control to function properly all the axis position numbers should work as they are
be aware that blaming the program will possibly keep you from finding the real problem with why the machine will not move a tool changer seems to be the most complicated area - if you don't have one it will be simpler and easier pay attention to the feedback messages on the EMC2 control screen many times the work piece offset (g54,g55,g56...) will be the culprit the tool table will be an area of interest also On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 8:41 AM, Kent A.
