The letter "R" has many meanings.
Every control will tend to have many
variations. The rapid plane is the most
common like in a canned cycle. It can
also be a corner radius. Haas programs
can use an "R" with a G02 or a G03. You
would use it instead of an I or J. It can
also be a hole radius call out.
Fadal's have different meanings also.
If you hit the letter "R" while editing
it can be used to search and replace.
The Fadal's fixed subroutine for engraving
uses the letter "R" to control the style of
engraving. For example (R1+0 is standard
engraving ). (R1+1 is a stencil type of engraving )
(R1+2 is a serial engraving ). R2 is the engraving
height. R3 the angle that it gets engraved. Other
subroutines control cutter step over,
hole diameter, bolt hole circle start points
