then i noticed on the pen down it had this
if(toolClass == "MarkerTool") or tool > 99 then
i pasted that in and it had no effect either
on the rising z axis post;
if i scribe a short straight line it does fine
if i scribe a circle the z axis motor rotates up
i guess i've never scribed a circle first
i scribed a square then circle and had no rise on the z axis
the i changed the sequence to scribe circle then square; same file just change in sequence
with the circle first i have z axis rise then steady for the square
at this point i am not actually scribing, using the output to turn my laser cross hairs on/off

Do you have the correct Z offset for the scriber in your post?
For the M09 issue I checked and it is a bug in the post. Look for
function OnPenUp() and change this line:
if(tool > 99) then
to:
if(tool > 99 or toolClass == "MarkerTool") then

i've been using an electric scriber and the ''plasma MP1000-THC post
processor with engraver'' post aka mach3 thc with scriber post. it has
been working fine with the exception of i need to manually enter M09
in the gcode to turn it off. i have since bought an air scriber and
modified the air scribe mount.
i edited the scribe offsets in the post for the new air scribe mount,
that is all i edited in the post. now when i scribe the torch comes
down, touches off, moves to z offset, moves to the new xy offset and
scribe turns on. scribe on also lowers the air slide mount. that is
all good, but now the z axis moves up, maybe a half inch scribing a
3/8'' hole. so i scribe air now.
anyone have an idea of what went wrong? all i modified in the post was
the scribe offsets.
