Drilling with Vector

on 2002-01-13 11:07:36 UTC
I've been playing with Vector 9.3 for the past two days (crash course) and
I've been able to draw pretty well with it. Now I'm trying to drill a
milling plate and have come up with a problem so basic I'm almost
embarrassed to ask the question, but here goes:

How do you make it drill?

I have the plate drawn, 4x8.5", with a pattern of points at 1/2" intervals,
120+ points in all. The workpiece is 4x8.5x0.5". I can build a G-code file
that positions the table for each hole, but have not figured out how to
bring the Z axis down. I want to drill 0.625" deep holes, by pecking.

I'm reasonably sure that the answer is a simple one, but it escapes me.

Anyone?
