Let's say you want to drill a hole along the tool axis. Or let's say you want to mill a circle perpendicular to the current tool axis. G17.1 will allow that where G17 will allow the motion only in relation to the XY plane. G17 and G17.1, etc, allow the programmer/machinist to specify the machining conditions/parameters as necessary to control the machine as desired. I think it is a good thing. thanks Stuart -- dos centavos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
