Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport Easy Track Gcode

Hello Mike,

Thanx. I got the 2 page PDF listing. I can see immediately that my CW
helix is a problem. Some interpreters use G02 and some use G72.
Bridgeport uses G12. I would never have figured that out without the
list that you sent to me.

I need to track down more info though, just to make sure that parameters
and usage are correct. So I am still looking for a manual or maybe
several pages explaining Bridgeport's preferences for Gcode and Mcode
usage.

In particular, Bridgeport's method for comments is not known to me. Some
interpreters start a comment with a semicolon. Some interpreters enclose
comments within parentheses. What method does Bridgeport use?
