Re: G92 and M99 code/cncpro

hi eveyrone
I was reading some older post and picked up some examples and info
that I now am understanding much better due to more experience. There
has been talk about the "L" loop code in cncpro and how to use it
(also one of my orginal questions)...well with the example and info
ballendo, randy and jon gave (in older posts), not to mention many
others, I have finally figuered it out (or think I have :) Really I
just tried one example ballendo gave and it worked! Thanks!!!

for others wondering about using the "L" loop code in cncpro follow
this example:

G91 (makes measurement relative)
G81 R.5 Z-1 X5 L50

This code will make 50 holes 1 mm deep 5 mm apart and then stop!
Hopefully this will help other "beginners" and others wondering about
the loop feature. You can also put the Loop number in front of the
line so try that also..in the example above I don't think it works
right. Loop will only loop THAT line its added to also.
thanks everyone again!
