Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: help

Hi Art,

That's true, I only mention all three, in case the user was working in
another plane. Guess I should have mentioned I,J,K as well!

Helicals can be cut with G70, is that right? Then the "extra" axis
(such as Z) gets motion also.

Including All REQUIRED parms should do the trick in older vers. Getting
the latest vers is also recommended.

V4 sounds like it will be closer to standard practice.
