Mark,
Open it with a text editor. Notepad++ is recommended and free

Mark,
I take you got it working with adding M8/M9 to your post processor?

If you can Manually type the M command in the MDI to turn on and off the DC then centroid is fine. You have to add those same commands to the vectric post processor you are using. Just a text editor like notepad is fine for that. Add the turn on command in the header section and the turn off at the end. Sometimes if using a atc post processor it is helpful to turn off and on during tool changes as well. In vectric you will find them under application data folder.
