Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Basic G-Code Question

Dave,

Thanks for the help. I really have not lost any time as I am just
learning the system. I wanted to know if this was a programming bug or
a G-code standard because it will definitely effect the way I will
generate my G-code files. Looking forward to your software fix, but if
you need a copy of the offending G-code just let me know and i can
attach it.

Thanks again,
Dan.
