Hi all, It is my understanding that a rapid move (G0) should fully complete before a subsequent motion command will start. In this case I am doing two successive G0 moves, where in very rare occasions, the second G0 move will start to move before the first entirely completes.
For example: G0 X20 Y15 G0 Z0.1 In very rare instances, the second G0 move will start (based on the example above) about 1" or so before the first G0 command has completed. But it isn't as simple as that, it seems to depend on both a long G0 move followed by a short G0 move followed by a number of short G1 moves (typically a series of short G1 moves approximating an arc). At least that is the closest thing to a pattern as I have been able to surmise based on the very few instances in which it occurs. It is repeatable, however. I have found a couple of work arounds by adjusting the g-code generated (HPGL -> G-Code), my real question is, should one be able to trust that one G0 command will complete before a subsequent G0 command starts?
