If you want to go to a pre-defined position to change your tool and you are using Fusion 360 to generate your nc code. here's a tip to help you easily modify your post processor to do so.

Open your post processor config

Find insertToolCall In the code


Add a line to move in modal with G00 to the desired position!

  if (insertToolCall) {

    forceWorkPlane();

    

    retracted = true;

    onCommand(COMMAND_COOLANT_OFF);

  

    if (!isFirstSection() && properties.optionalStop) {

      onCommand(COMMAND_OPTIONAL_STOP);

    }

    if (tool.number > 99) {

      warning(localize("Tool number exceeds maximum value."));

    }

    /** Added line to go to default tool change position */
    writeBlock(gFormat.format(53),gMotionModal.format(0),xOutput.format(14.0),yOutput.format(22.0),zOutput.format(-1.125));

    writeBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number), mFormat.format(6));

    /** Added line to go back to to Z0*/
    writeBlock(gFormat.format(53),gMotionModal.format(0),zOutput.format(0));

    

    if (tool.comment) {

      writeComment(tool.comment);

    }
