"Run from line" works pretty good on my Mori's Fanuc, but I would sure never try to start on a line in the middle of a G71 profile block. I'd rather not find out what it would try to do in that case. I guess I could live with the G200/1/2/3 versions of the G0/1/2/3, but it doesn't seem like a real elegant solution. I can certainly see why it would be desirable not to rip open a big can of run-from-line worms.

Just think through what this does to "run from line" - there goes your tool, bang. It also introduces a new block structure and intra-line dependency which didnt exist yet. I mean RS274NGC is a very limited language so folks have all sorts of ideas but we must aim to reduce the shoot-into-foot potential as good as we can. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
