Copy Paste to another Cad, and Post help

Is there any way to copy lines and paste them into another cad program. So far I haven't had any luck.

In the Post, is there a way to keep the Z up until it has returned to 0,0 after a tool change. Right now on 4th Axis stuff I am having to either output individual posts for each tool, or manually edit the post file.

CAD geometries cannot be copied from one application to another. These can only be copied & pasted within the same session of VisualCAD.
After a tool change the tool typically moves up in Z first and then in XY as the rapid motion block on most processors is set to move in Z coordinate axis first and then in XY. If this is not what you are seeing, upload or send us a copy of your post processor to [email protected] and we can take a look at it. If possible, please also include the part file.
