Are you having this problem during holemaking, or in general? I don't know what the TRAK AGE3 is, but if your problem is in holemaking only, it probably has to do with a default choice of mode for retract to the Clearance versus the Retract plane (usually G98 versus G99). If so, you may be able to modify the post you downloaded. Don't know if that will help you or not.

I have a post for Pro/Engineer for the Trak Age3. I have not tried it with WF5 yet. I will gladly send it to you.
