Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Why is a Gcode standard important???

yep G00 and G01 are pretty hard to screw up :-)
its the little format differences in G02 and up that start causing trouble
(a code standard that breaks down on the 3rd code is no standard at all)
sure they all LOOK fairly 'standardized' ,if you can read one version you can
read them all... more or less
but you can't just transfer a program from one brand of machine to another
and expect it to run (Haas -> Fanuc = crash )
