Hi,

I've been looking into the canned cycles in LinuxCNC and the relative
version is odd.

The gcode documentation has an example:
G0 X1 Y2 Z3
G91 G98 G81 X4 Y5 Z-0.6 R1.8 L3

It should make a nice pattern, but it drills in the wrong direction
(down-to-up). The R-word need to be -1.8 (negative) to make it drill in
the right direction.

However, the documentation states a sequence of rapids/moves and
indicates the positions which I cannot reproduce. F.ex. I cannot create
a parameter combination that would move to the noted Z positions.

Am I missing something or is there bitrot in either the documentation or
interpreter?
