Thanks to everyone
 
I've got lotsa stuff to try so I'm sure I'll have a choice of solutions.

In our post, we use
 
@ENDPROF
<#MOV> Z#ZPOS
<#DCOMP G91 X0.001 Y0.001
#RESET(#ABSI)>
 
Everything is in conditional brackets so that the code is only output if cutter comp has been active. If it has not been active, then the entire condition is ignored, so we have no problem with the G91 etc. line being output unless it is needed.
 
The reset is in there just to make sure that G90 is forced out at the next @SECTION
 
You could also hard code it, like this:
 
<#MOV> Z#ZPOS
<#DCOMP G91 X0.001 Y0.001
G90>
 
Hope this helps you out.

My HAAS VF-O insists on having a linear move after or on the same line as G40. The code output by SmartCam doesn't give me this. I don't see a question dealing with this in "Machine Define". Am I missing something? If not, is there a way to edit the .SMF or .TMP file to get code "ready to use"?
