I tried the Mach2/3 Arcs (mm) (*.txt). 

Because I have a tool change in the code it made me save 2 tool paths for the job.  When I ran the job I started each at x, y, z at zero.  The 2nd tool path did not go to the correct start point and of course the job was ruined.

The 2nd part should have started in the solid line under 'Schmidt' it actually started in the middle of the 'm'. 

Is there a way to save a single tool path in the Aspire software with a tool change in it, even though I do not have a tool changer on the machine itself?

My bad.  So sorry.  I'm using Aspire 10 (the full version) and Mach3Mill (also the licensed version).   I do appreciate the humor.  Ty.

I am trying to save my toolpaths.  I have a tool change in this project.  I do not have a tool changer on my CNC 6040 3 axis router (from China with no documentation).  I am not sure which post processor to choose.  I am getting an error:
The visible toolpaths use different tools and the selected PostProcessor does not support tool changing. 

 I have included a screen capture of my choices.
