How to output repetitive CYCLE points?

[marker4x4]

I'm asking lotsa questions lately

There's a little problem with the way Gpost outputs drilling cycles in the situation when two consecutive tools work on the same hole (e.g. c/sink and drill). It's OK on the verticals, but on our horizontal it doesn't work since the spindle always moves away to grab the next tool and then plunges on Z from there. No good.
Anyway, as an example I'd like to change this:

.........
N1 T9 M06
S3000 M03
G0 X0.0 Y0.0
G43 Z.25 H9
G81 G99 X0.0 Y0.0 Z-.1 F25. R.1
G80
N3 T12 M06
S1700 M03
G43 Z.25 H12
G83 G99 X0.0 Y0.0 Z-1.0 F15. Q.25 R.1
G80
........

to this:



.........

N1 T9 M06

S3000 M03

G0 X0.0 Y0.0

G43 Z.25 H9

G81 G99 X0.0 Y0.0 Z-.1 F25. R.1

G80

N3 T12 M06

S1700 M03
G00 X0.0 Y0.0

G43 Z.25 H12

G83 G99 X0.0 Y0.0 Z-1.0 F15. Q.25 R.1

G80

I was poking around Gpost settings, but couldn't make it behave...
Thanks in advance,

Open the "Option File Generator" and open the post in question. Select "Machine Codes", then "Tool change Seq". On the "General" tab, make sure to pick "Do not output tool change positioning block". Then on the "Tool change coordinates" tab, specify coordinates for X and Y. Enter a value that is outside the machining envelope so that it will force X & Y motions after the tool change.
