Oh... I don't think you want to mess with that... - Hicks Parameters 31-5000 are deliberately unused by linuxcnc, and thus available for the g-code programmer to use. Ah yes, that's even what the docs say (somewhat cryptically, focus on the "user parameters" part): > * > > /1-5000/ - G-Code user parameters.

In master (aka devel), there are some predefined named parameters that carry the g90/g91 state: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/overview.html#_predefined_named_parameters_a_id_sec_predefined_named_parameters_a I think those variables are new in the master branch, and not available in the 2.5 branch. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
