Machine is looking for probe after probing

I just ran a test in Carbide Create.
If you save the gcode with default settings it will add the probing code ( G6 command) that will ask to probe before every toolpath.

You need to select either the basic gcode or grbl post processor in Carbide Create (these do not add the probing command of G6) by choosing edit at the top left, then select Post Processor. The default is set to ‘Shapeoko with limit switches’ which adds the probing code. Make sure to have the most updated Carbide Create. The post processor choices are a relatively new setting for Carbide.
I’ve attached a picture below.

This is one reason we uploaded TWO post processors for Vectric. One does NOT have the call for probing before each toolpath, the other (it says with probe) DOES have the call.
