Hi to all. After a few days and no answer at all I have to deduce that the argument is not interesting. :-( I've checked out the "jump" functionality (within the G code) used from several CNCs on the market (Fanuc,Siemens ,Heidenhain,Fagor ...) and it is present. Believe it or not this is really useful and widely used . So I would like to know your opinion (dear Gentlemen) and understand if it is too difficult to implement at G code interpreter level .
