NX 5-Axis Post: Wrong length compensation value

NX 5-Axis Post: Wrong length compensation value

NX 5-Axis Post: Wrong length compensation value

(OP)
Hi all, I am trying to adapt the pre-configured sim05 Fanuc post processer for use on our CMS 5-axis mills with dual rotary heads. I have a problem I could use some help resolving:

I am doing a 3D profile operation, and at first I was seeing G68 IJKR output which is weird because I never specified a plane change; we also never run canned cycles, so IJKs should never show up in the post anyways...
If I run only this operation it simulates fine, but if this operation comes AFTER another operation it crashes, so I suspected it was somewhere in the First Move. I removed all of the junk Siemens included and now it runs without the G68 IJKR, except it still includes the wrong G43 (should be G43.4), followed by a G49 I don't want.
I have changed the Length Compensation output to G43.4, and set it to force output everywhere I saw it, but when running the machine code simulator I still see a G43 output followed by a G49 at the start of my second operation. What can I do to get the right length compensation code output, and get ride of that comp cancel command!?

I did a few more tweaks, I get my G43.4 and everything moves correctly! I changed the First, Initial and Rapid Move length comps from the automatically selected (should be G43.4) to user defined 43.4.
